Tin of Memories

[Verse 1] The memories that lie within The old and tattered photo tin A time machine of days gone by A treasure chest beneath the sky Snapshots faded edges frayed Whispers of the life we made The laughter echoes from the past A fragile joy built to last [Prechorus] Hold them close like firelight Guiding me through the endless night [Chorus] In this tin of memories I find The happy times that ease my mind Each photograph a piece of gold A story waiting to be retold [Verse 2] A picnic under skies of blue A pair of shoes worn through and through The first steps in a dusty hall The crooked smile that said it all Pressed flowers tucked between the frames A scribbled note no need for names The world was big the days were small And love was written in it all
