Old Memories Tears
Words and Music By:
Michael L Prather
She sat down on the front porch
and began going back through the years
Oh the time slipped away
as she went back to a single summers day
When she was young and carefree
and he was wild and brave
And as the sun began to fade
she cried old memories tears
She's got all she ever needed
she's got more than enough to please
But sometimes in the evenings
when the leaves catch the breeze
she sits down on the front porch
and cries old memories tears
He was more than a thousand miles away
oh but he still thought about her everyday
He fought for right and for freedom
and hoped that he'd return to her someday
But on a hard winter's evening
as the sun began to fade
He was struck down to the cold cold ground
and he slipped away
Now it's been twenty years and twenty times the tears
since that foriegn day
She's made for herself a new life
and she's doing ok
But sometimes in the evenings
when the leaves catch the breeze
she sit's down on the front porch
and cries old memories tears
she sits down on the front porch
and cries old memories tears
You always do great vocals. And I have to say your voice is well suited for these types of ballads. Great song, Great performance.
