Lyrics

Verse #1
You only have one first love – mine was years ago.
Sometimes it still feels like yesterday.
‘Cause I never will forget how that girl left me layin’ low
-or forget what my mama had to say . . .

Pre-Chorus:
You know its time to put the past behind you
When everywhere you look reminds you
Of what you had and what you knew
Here is how you start, dear
You open up your heart, dear
And pretty soon you know just what to do . . .
Chorus
You keep makin’ memories – till you can’t make anymore
You only have one life to live and that’s what life is for
So when your heart breaks into nothing, pull yourself up off the floor
And keep on makin’ memories – till you can’t make anymore.

Verse # 2
And with every season, ;life moved quickly by
I fell in love again and we had a family
Now my daughters’ nearly grown and she’s the apple of my eye
And she lost here first love – same as me.
You know I told her . . .

Pre-Chorus & Chorus

Bridge
Mama had a way of filling up her life
Right up to the very night she passed away.
And when someone is gone, we still can carry on
By living the lesson I still can hear her say

Chorus
