Acoustic Folk Art 4, Track 5, 02:55

Echoes

Looking out my window
As the daylight turns to dusk 
Thinking of the future
And thinking about the past 
Thinking of the times I’ve had
The days that are no more
Wondering what’s ahead
What the future holds in store
 
Echoes of the memories
Thinking of the good times I have had
Echoes, echoes of the memories 
Make my spirit feel glad 

Another day is done
What will tomorrow bring 
Will the sun come up
And will the bluebird sing 
Seems like the years
Are simply going by too fast
If you put a rose into a vase
Tell me how long will it last
Will it last

Echoes of the memories
Thinking of the good times I have had
Echoes, echoes of the memories 
Make my spirit feel glad

Have you come to the realization 
Thinking about God’s great creation 
Watching the stars come out at night
Fade away in the morning light

Echoes of the memories
Thinking of the good times I have had
Echoes, echoes of the memories 
Make my spirit feel glad
