COLLECTING MEMORIES
Songwriter: Rick Bartlett (SOCAN) (4:30)

Collecting memories from the places we go
Events special occasion and good times
Recorded for us to show and to share with the people that we care about
Collecting souvenirs that we keep in a box
Of pictures and letters reminding us of love
The saving of a memory, sometimes to reminisce when we’re in the mood
About something we have missed, a nostalgic view
Sentimental me, collecting memories
And we save away, reminding us of better days
To remember this, how we felt from a triggered memory from way back then,
and how we feel again
It’s funny how such trivial things become valuable
Like a note or a picture of another town
but attach it to a memory, then it grows its value from the way we feel
The time has come and gone, but the memory lives on
Collected in our thoughts, sharing stories as we talk
