Photographs and Memories

I have recently taken on the task of organizing boxes of old photographs I had in my attic. A moment captured with a camera forever frozen in time and on my heart. I cannot begin to express how much I loved Jim Croce's music back in the 70's. His songs pulled at my heartstrings and his music inspired me to attempt to play the guitar. His death in an airplane crash on September 20, 1973 devastated me and I remember writting my high school english year end final exam on the impact his death had on me.
This song is one of my favorites and most fitting for this day.

Photographs and Memories
-Jim Croce

Photographs and memories
Christmas cards you sent to me
All that I have are these
to remember you.

Memories that come at night
take me to another time
Back to a happier day
when I called you mine

Summer skies and lullabies
Nights we couldn't say good-bye
And of all of the things the we knew
not a dream survived.

But we sure had a good time
When we started way back when
Morning walks and bedroom talks
Oh how I loved you then

Photographs and memories
All the love you gave to me
Somehow it just can't be true
That's all I've left of you.
