Memories hold you

Memories hold you

Thoughts of you unfold me

I can still hear your voice

What about me, where will I go?

I can’t remember my response

I knew at that moment as

Your word nestled inside my heart

Christmas never comes without

Stirring up your words

I love how memories hold you

The sweetness of the bittersweet

Thoughts of you like that

Yesterday when I was young…Patricia Kaas

 

This is one of my Pa’s favorite songs originally sung by Roy Clark, new rendition by Patricia Kaas. I remember as a young girl watching my Pa listen to this song sitting on the back porch, he with sunglasses on. My Pa knew somehow I would feel like he felt like I feel today I remember chasing his words to find some semblance of him. I don’t feel like time and youth had run out but I feel wisdom of age has taught me to not be stupid and even if I am it’s okay to do dumb stuff. Happy Father’s Day Pa…I never feel like you are gone.
