Lyrics

He used to wake up late for class
After hitting the snooze, several minutes passed
He’d grab the same pair of jeans he wore
For the last several days in a row.
Spray cologne on his clean t-shirt
Check the mirror, give a practice wink and smoldering smirk
Just before he walked right out that door.

Many memories fade as we get old
But those high school years always feel so close

Running out on that field so fast
Watching the home stands stand and clap
Hearing the ones, you love
Scream your name like you’ve always dreamed of
Scoring that winning play
As the team celebrates and runs your way
Then everyone comes to shake your hand
That right there is a high, most will never understand.

Years pass by and that young boy’s gone
Off to the war, with his uniform on.
His bags are packed and he meets a girl
He knew back in high school,
Yeah, he was head over heals.
He’d call her from overseas
Never mind the bill, her voice was all he needs

Memories fade as we get old
But when your young and in love anything goes.

When he returned, he took her out
To an open field with a blanket down
He proposed and she said, “Yes!”
That’s a memory you can’t forget.
They settle down and had a couple kids
Sadly, this was not a fairytale kinda end.

It wasn’t long he found someone
Who loved him like an old love song
She gave him all the love he could bear
Even when his callous heart was barely there
She promised that she’d never go no where

Memories fade as we get old
Always listen before your heart dies slow

The man he used to be is lost somehow
He better find him before he misses out
On the love that’s true
His loves for you and his daughter’s too
He’s so sorry for the hell he’s put you through
Just in-case you question what you should do
Let him Love You
Let him Love You
