My Heart Remembers

(from the musical adaptation of “The Velveteen Rabbit”: sung by the Grandmother of James)

Time goes by,
The years take wing and fly,
Tossing my mem’ries to the breeze.
Floating gently, warm and friendly,
Over me.

But now and then I am a child again,
Snatching my mem’ries from the breeze.
Brittle rose buds, dusty petals, autumn leaves…

And I cry
For the days that might have been.
And I try
To forget the tears
That wet my cheeks again.

So, I turn a new page,
Start a new song,
Turn a new phrase,
Walk the road that’s long
And filled with sorrow,
Filled with joy,
Just to see…my boy.

Still the same,
He’s my James,
My boy…

My Heart Remembers
The lovely music in your name,
I’ll stay with you forever
And my song will be the same.

My Heart Remembers
A very special Valentine
From your heart to mine,
Always, you will always,
Be my Valentine,
My joy at Easter Time,
The greatest gift to me in cold December,
My Heart Remembers,
May I stay
In the heart
Of you.
