Keepsakes - Jamie Nattier (Original with lyrics in description)

Keepsakes - written by Jamie Nattier
JUST NEWLY WED, SCARED TO DEATH
THE BIG MOVING DAY
BOX AFTER BOX, LOADED DOWN TRUCKS
HAULED THEM AWAY
I HAD A SHOE BOX MOUNTAIN UNDER MY CHIN
THEN I TRIPPED IN THE YARD
AND OUT FLEW EVERY CARD
AND NOTE MY WIFE WROTE ME
SHE SAID I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU KEPT THESE
I SAID...

MY LITTLE KEEPSAKES
I'LL NEVER THROW AWAY
PRICELESS LOVE WORTH MORE THAN A MILLION
PIECES OF US OUR GRANDCHILDREN WILL READ
EVERY MEMORY BECOMES MY LITTLE KEEPSAKES

KNEELIN' IN THE GRASS, DRIFTIN' TO THE PAST
WHERE OUR LOVE BEGAN, SHE STARTED LAUGHIN'
I REMEMBER THIS VALENTINE'S 96' KINDERGARTEN
I LOVED YOU THEN AND I STILL DO
CAUSE I KEPT ALL OF MINE TOO...SHE SAID
(CHORUS)

SLOWLY THAT HOUSE BECAME A HOME
WHEN WE MADE TO LITTLE KEEPSAKES OF OUR OWN

OUR LITTLE KEEPSAKES
LEARNIN' HOW TO GROW AND PLAY
WITH ENDLESS LOVE FROM A MOTHER AND A FATHER
KISSES AND HUGS PUTTIN' OUR DAUGHTERS TO SLEEP
MAKIN' MEMORIES WITH OUR LITTLE KEEPSAKES

Sweet lyrics!...Second verse brought a tear to my eye...The line "'cause i kept all mine too" was the one that got to me...Love the chorus too...This song is what country music is all about...or should be!
