Lyrics

Q

All the memories of a day
Trapped inside these lonely sounds
The youngest one was eight
And we played through out the morning hours
The eldest two were hear
Just talking in the afternoon
Out to dinner with my lady
We were home before the sun went down
My children?s children?s children
Might hear this sixty years from now
Like hieroglyphs on canyon walls
I think of music as a picture
The kind you close your eyes to see
For the young and for the old
Like photographs of memories
Sometimes smiles hide the sadness
Or laughter that just makes you cry
Using notes instead of film
It?s the only way I know to try
So my children?s children?s children
Might hear this sixty years from now
Like petroglyphs on canyon walls
