Lyrics
[Verse 1]
How I love to turn back life’s pages,
Just to drift back through memory.
There were moments at diff’rent ages,
When the whole world smiled on me.
[Chorus]
There were moments in early childhood,
Happy moments that I recall;
There were moments I strolled the wildwood,
When ev’ning shadows began to fall
There were moments, when I grew older,
That seemed sweeter than all to me,
But the moments I spent with you, dear,
Are my jewels of memory.
[Verse 2]
Could the moments stretch into hours
Could the hours stretch into years,
Life on earth then would be a Haven,
I could laugh away my tears.
[Chorus]
