Back to Life

(Joyce Lavern McCord)



When the years show in our faces from the thoughtless hand of time

And our youth is just a mem'ry to revive

We'll spend many happy hours thumbing through the past desires

And we'll bring each tender mem'ry back to life.



But every day we live we add a mem'ry

And we store it in the corner of our minds

And when life's fire is just a dying ember

We'll bring each tender mem'ry back to life.

When we know our days are numbered that we live on borrowed time

Our hands will search the darkness to entwine

Then we'll spend our last few hours looking through our treasured mammons

And we'll bring each tender mem'ry back to life.



For every day we live we add a mem'ry

And we store it in the corner of our minds

And when life's fire is just a dying ember

We'll bring each tender mem'ry back to life.



We'll bring each tender mem'ry back to life...
