| Yes there are many precious mem’ries that I’d like to recall
|
| And there are some things that I would surely like to forget
|
| I’ve been up Lord I’ve been down and sometimes just in between
|
| But you know something neighbors I haven’t reached to my highest mountain yet
|
| Yes I know Gods bless me time and time and time and time again
|
| And these blessings for exceeding my deepest woe
|
| I’ve had the help of loved ones and many friends who stood by me And without their favor I would have given up a long long time ago
|
| I remember my boyhood days back in Faraday Louisiana
|
| The long hot summer and that cool Louisiana rain
|
| You know sometimes I wish I could go back and relive yesterday
|
| Oh Lord and for a while be mama’s little boy again
|
| You know folks the things that matter most in this old world money just can’t
|
| buy
|
| Sweet love precious mem’ries that will live on and on and on And I remember Lord when I stumble sometimes fall I wonder why
|
| Then I’ll then I’ll never never never walk alone
|
| Yes these are the things that matter most to me Precious mem’ries from your friend Jerry Lee |
