Read Me a Memory

Lyrics
About the Song
Commissioned by Bill and Sally Grenney for Adams Elementary School
Read me a memory, tell me a tale.
Speak of wondrous adventures
together we'll sail off to forests enchanted
and lands far away.
Fairies and kings and magical rings.
My hearts has wings
when I sit at your knee and you read to me.
Years turn like pages, soon I'll be grown.
Maybe someday I'll read to a child of my own.
Though I may not remember the stories we shared.
I always knew, through time spent with you,
That you loved me too;
For I sat at your knee and you read to me.
Childhood, like summer days; dews on the grass,
Soon will be yesterdays.
Don't let it pass 'til you
Read me a memory, tell me a tale,
speak of wondrous adventures.
Together we'll sail off to forest enchanted and
lands far away.
Fairies and kings, and magical rings.
My heart has wings!
When I sit at your knee and you read to me.
