[Intro with pedal steel guitar fiddle mandolin piano and guitar]
[Verse 1]
I remember all those day trips,
We went to see Nana and pop,
He played footy with us kids,
Or just taking us to the shop,
Nana secretly tried to give us money,
But we told her not to worry,
It would be a five dollar note,
As a kid we thought that's a lot,
[Chorus with backing harmonies]
Every time you come to stay,
We played cards or board games,
You would talk over a cup of tea,
Now looking back I can clearly see,
That it was just us making,
Memories, Memories!!!!!
[Verse 2]
I still remember that day,
Pop went to his resting place,
With tears filling my eyes,
Too young to understand life,
Then there were bus rides to see you,
We walked into town so you could,
Check the mail and go to the bank,
And then we walked home again,
[Chorus with backing harmonies]
[Instrumental break with guitar riffs pedal steel guitar rise and falls fiddle and mandolin and piano]
[Bridge]
You would come and stay a week,
Mum's lecture would always be,
Don't go out and get drunk,
Cause Nana's staying with us,
And it's not a good look,
If you told the Aunts and uncles,
We know you loved the garden,
You had a real green thumb,
[Chorus with backing harmonies]
[Outro]
Then when you got sick,
It was too much for me,
I wanted to remember you,
For the way you were,
Thanks for helping us make
Memories, memories,
Memories!!!!!.
[Fade to end]
