Memories Lyrics by Aimee Carty

2024

[Verse 1]
She was my age and moved to England and became a nurse
Moving far away with her older sister on November first
And her mother didn't want her to go
But she stood her ground 'til she couldn't say no
Only my age she moved to England and became a nurse

[Chorus]
How times have changed
She tells me the good old days go far too quickly
And although she talks with pride
I see the sadness in her eyes
And it all comes in bits and pieces
All the people that she misses
I forget you see
That she was young like me
She had fun like me
She has family that are gone now

[Post-Chorus]
And I guess that it just hit me
That even when it's full of love
The past is hard to carry

[Verse 2]
He was my age and he was young and he was free
It's hard to believe that my grandad was once eighteen
And he worked hard needless to say
He had to travel far and there were bills to pay
But he was my age with lots to learn and lots to say

[Chorus]
How times have changed
He tells me the good old days go far too quickly
And although he's often quiet
There's a story in the silence
Like how he got light from candles
Walked to school, no socks, no sandals
I forgot you see
That he was young like me
He had fun like me
He has history that is gone now

[Post-Chorus]
And I guess that it just hit me
That even when they're full of love
Memories are heavy

[Verse 3]
Memories are heavy
Memories are sharp
They live inside our photos
They live inside our hearts
They wander 'round the town and all the places that we go
They live in different sounds and the faces that we know
I hope that when I've listened
To all the tales they've told
I've helped to carry
Some of the load
