Such Wonderful Memories

Such wonderful memories with him do remain Of friends of the past he will not meet again Too old to return to the town far away Where he did first look on the bright lamp of day Many of the boys and girls he went to school with where the deceased are do lay Time takes care of all as some are known to say A divorced grandfather in his mid seventies his best years long gone And the clock on his life ever ticks on and on Where to most people his would be a stranger's face Today in his hometown he would feel out of place He has not been in his first hometown for close to forty years And though for what used to be he has shed his last tears He retains the good memories of the what used to be In the far away town he will never more see.
