As I look through my keepsake tin
As I look through my keepsake tin
My daughter gave to me
It holds lots and lots of memories
Of my childhood and family tree
As I look at cards and messages
That were sent from mum and dad
All those happy years come back
What a lovely life we had
Dad playing on the piano
His voice ,so very clear
When I open up the keepsake tin
It's just as if he's here
And oh I hear the laughter
And to my surprise
A photo of my mother
She had beautiful blue eyes.
All these recollections
That might have been forgot
Come gushing back into my mind
Oh there was such a lot .
Their hands would gently comfort us
They'd hug us with delight
Everyday was wonderful
With sweet dreams in the night
We cannot have those days back
Me and my sisters three
But when I open up the keepsake tin
It all floods back to me
So as I wipe a happy tear and again
Put down the lid
I say God Bless mum and dad
For everything you did .
