Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song after seeing so much loss this year and envisioning how difficult the holidays may be for a lot of people. I pray this song reinvigorates the warm feelings that deceased family members have left behind and that listeners are encouraged to create new memories with the family they're close to.
Song Description
2020 has been crazy for so many. Maybe you've lost someone recently or you're missing someone you can't see because of social distancing this year. My new song, "Memories", is about embracing the happy memories while simultaneously creating new ones.

Lyrics
It's that time of year for sharing your gifts
With the people you love and...
As we gather 'round, I can't help but miss...
Miss the family that's gone now
I know we're 'sposed to have cheer but I
Can't help but imagine you're here so I'll
Take you in my heart and cherish these moments
Won't forget the way you made it all better, so I'll do the same
On this happy holiday, we'll all get together
And we're gonna create some new
Memories memories...Make some new Memories memories
And I pray we remember these, 'member these...
Wonderful memories memories, Oh
Carols fill this house, family singing loud
With their hearts full of joy and
Children scream and shout as they all run about they've
Got their new favorite toys, but
Your presence just can't be replaced so I'll
Remember that smile on your face and I...
I may shed a tear, but for joy not for sorrow...
Won't forget the way you made it all better, so I'll do the same
On this happy holiday, we'll all get together
And we're gonna create some new
Memories memories... Make some new Memories memories
And I pray we remember these, 'member these...
Wonderful memories memories, Oh
So we'll cherish this moment
And we'll fill it with cheer, though you're no longer here.
All your love we will show it
Cause you gave us so much of your heart it's enough that we'll
Never forget what you've done
Won't forget the way you made it all better, so I'll do the same
On this happy holiday, we'll all get together
And we're gonna create some new
Memories memories... Make some new Memories memories
And I pray we remember these, 'member these...
Wonderful memories memories, Oh
Memories memories... I will never forget all you've done
Make some new wonderful memories, Oh oh oh oh
