In the corners of my mind Echoes of a distant time Photographs in sepia hues Whispers of the life I knew Each memory a treasure Moments I will always measure Through laughter and through tears They've shaped these years My memories, they carry me Through the waves of history In every smile, in every tear They remind me why I'm here Places I have wandered through People I have known and grew Stories written in the sands In the palm of my own hands Pre-chorus Each memory a treasure Moments I will always measure Through laughter and through tears They've shaped these years My memories, they carry me Through the waves of history In every smile, in every tear They remind me why I'm here Though time may fade their glow These memories will always flow In the tapestry of my soul They'll forever be whole My memories, they carry me Through the waves of history In every smile, in every tear They remind me why I'm here In the quiet of the night I hold each memory tight For in the end, they define The essence of this life of mine
