Story behind the song
Just like the lyrics say, my son and I were cleaning out the closet to make way for the newest edition to the family and we came across this old box of photos... the rest is in the lyrics.
Lyrics
- Verse 1 -
While cleaning up the closet, I found things I thought we’d lost
I pulled out some old photos, that lay inside a box
And as I sorted slowly, I fought back some tears
That were brought on by emotions, as I looked back through the years
- Chorus 1 -
The time we went to Destin, just after our first child
That trailer we had lived in, back off the road a mile
Our first road trip to Disney, we took with some old friends
And we promised that someday we would, visit there again
It seems like yesterday, but it’s been several years
Old faded pictures can make memories, so clear
- Verse 2 -
I stood there for what must have been, almost half a day
Looking back at where we were, and some of our old ways
So I quickly grabbed an album, to store them all away
But there simply wasn’t any room, for all that we had made
- Chorus 2 -
A weekend at the lake, for a birthday now and then
Your first plane trip to Denver, to see some of my old friends
Skiing through the powder, in the Rocky Mountain Snow
And the storm that hit that very day, when it was time to go
It seems like yesterday, but it’s been several years
Old faded pictures can make memories, so clear
- Bridge -
I put the box back in the closet, and smiled from ear to ear
Sometimes it’s good to take the time, to travel through the years
- Chorus 3 -
Out west to San Diego, and up north to Gatlinburg
On east to the Atlantic, to walk along the surf
Swingin’ on the front porch, or just playin’ in the yard
There’s so many memories, that we have shared so far
They seem like yesterday, but it’s been several years
Old faded pictures can make memories, so clear
