A few Memories from My father .

Old town roads, quiet streets, memories running deep

Billy Joe, your shadow lingers, in my heart you keep

From Waverly streets to the candy bars, those simple days

You'd pick me up, we'd talk for hours, in so many ways

At Sue-Gal’s house, I found a friend, a fleeting light

But darkness crept in, shadows stretched, stole my quiet night

Oh, Billy Joe, I remember your words, soft and kind

Guiding me through the storm, in a world so unkind

Billy Joe, I’m here, just me, in the silence and the rain

Loving you from afar, carrying the pain

Your memory’s a lullaby, a whisper in my soul

Old times, sweet and bittersweet, make me whole

Rides to Hunt-out-Doors and Texico, your voice echoed clear

Taught me to stay strong, to face my fears, my tears

Life dealt its cards, dark days, shadows around

But your words, like a beacon, kept me safe and sound

Billy Joe, the stories shared, the hopes, the fears

Echo through the years, through the tears

Billy Joe, I’m here, just me, in the silence and the rain

Loving you from afar, carrying the pain

Your memory’s a lullaby, a whisper in my soul

Old times, sweet and bittersweet, make me whole

Lost in the dark, searching for the light

Your love, a flicker in the night

No matter where I roam or how far I stray

Billy Joe, in my heart, you stay

So here I stand, love unspoken, yet so true

Billy Joe, I love you, through and through

Though time has passed, your spirit’s never gone

In my memories, I hold on and carry on
