Story Behind The Song
Thinking back on memories of when my children were young. Things that used to irritate me, now I find endearing and miss. Based on a memory of finding sticky gummy bears in my purse.

Lyrics
Gummy Bears in my Purse
Written by: Tammy Stringer/2006
The house stays so neat and orderly
How I always thought I wanted it to be
My make-up and jewelry?s where I left it
No one?s playing dress up in my shoes
I?m not kissing boo boos
Or asking what goes moo moo
And I don?t find gummy bears in my purse
Chorus:
I know time moves on
And children do too
But when you gained your independence
Never knew how much I?d lose
What I?d do for one more night
To tuck you in with a good night kiss
I?m so proud of who you?ve become
But sometimes I reminisce;
About you learning to walk
and learning to talk
And all of those firsts
And finding gummy bears in my purse
There?s no bicycle left out in the driveway
No more sacrificing, everything?s done my way
I don?t trip on toys scattered on the flooor
I don?t have to leave the light on in the hall
No more catching a ball
Or you when you fall
And I don?t find gummy bears in my purse
Chorus
BRIDGE:
When there?s a thunderstorm
No one?s climbing in my bed
I fall asleep reading my own book
No bedtime stories read
Chorus
