Memory Lingers On (a slow country ballad) Verse 1 I was younger then, the world was slow, A summer road where the wildflowers grow, You had a smile like the morning sun, And a gentle way with everyone. You never asked for much at all, Just kindness given, big or small, And though the years have carried you away, I still see you like it was yesterday. Chorus And the memory lingers on, Like a sweet old country song, Playin' soft when the night grows long, Yes, the memory lingers on. Oh, wherever you may be, I hope life's been good to thee, Though you're gone, you're never gone, 'Cause the memory lingers on. Verse 2 I wonder now how your hair has grayed, Do you still laugh the way you laughed that day? Is there someone holdin' your hand at night, Does your porch light shine warm and bright? I hope your blessings came pourin' down, Like a gentle rain on a thirsty town, 'Cause a heart as kind as yours, my dear, Deserves the best of every year. (Chorus) Bridge I don't need to know your story, Or the roads you've had to roam, I just pray the Lord has kept you, And has led you safely home. Only heaven knows what you've become, But I'll trust Him with the rest, You were the sweetest soul I've known, And you deserve the best. Verse 3 (soft) Now my hands are worn, my step is slow, There's winter frost where the wildflowers grow, But when I close these tired eyes, You're still there beneath those summer skies. Final Chorus And the memory lingers on, Like a sweet old country song, In this aging heart where you belong, Yes, the memory lingers on. To the sweetest one I've known, May you never walk alone, Thank you, dear, for all you've done, 'Cause the memory lingers on… Yes, the memory lingers on.
