Once upon a time I was playing
Listen to the morning singing
I was always running around
Never could sit me down
All I needed was my music
And a soul that could use it
Will always be there, forever
Dreams do come true
when I look at you
And I have all my memories
I look at scrapbooks
And there we are
you and me, so carefree
And I'm always gonna hold you
Close to my heart
Life is too short
So make a new start
And I'm always gonna hold you
So close, so close to me
Close to me
And I'm always gonna give you
All that I have
So hold on tight to all your memories
And I'm always gonna hold you
So close, so close to me
Close to me
And I'm always gonna hold you
Close to my heart
Life is too short
So make a new start
And I'm always gonna hold you
Oh so close
Close to me, close to me, yeah
And I'm always gonna give you
All that I have
So hold on tight to all your memories and
I'm always gonna hold you
Oh, so close to me
Oh, close to me
Now I know what is real
I listen to my music
That's how I feel
And a warm tender glow
Comes over me
As I'm blessed with all these
Harmonies, and melodies, memories
Listen to the morning singing
I was always running around
Never could sit me down
All I needed was my music
And a soul that could use it
Will always be there, forever
Dreams do come true
when I look at you
And I have all my memories
I look at scrapbooks
And there we are
you and me, so carefree
And I'm always gonna hold you
Close to my heart
Life is too short
So make a new start
And I'm always gonna hold you
So close, so close to me
Close to me
And I'm always gonna give you
All that I have
So hold on tight to all your memories
And I'm always gonna hold you
So close, so close to me
Close to me
And I'm always gonna hold you
Close to my heart
Life is too short
So make a new start
And I'm always gonna hold you
Oh so close
Close to me, close to me, yeah
And I'm always gonna give you
All that I have
So hold on tight to all your memories and
I'm always gonna hold you
Oh, so close to me
Oh, close to me
Now I know what is real
I listen to my music
That's how I feel
And a warm tender glow
Comes over me
As I'm blessed with all these
Harmonies, and melodies, memories
