A dime store ring

A summer night

The smallest things can change your life

A bended knee

A whispered yes

I want to remember this

A one bedroom

An empty fridge

We were poor

But we were rich

And I remember thinking then

I want to remember this

It goes so fast

It won’t come back

Can’t make the clock slow down

So I’ll hold you close

I won’t let go

I’ll be right here, right now

For all the things I’ve missed

I want to remember this

A tiny hand

Wrapped in mine

The smallest things can change your life

A single tear

A forehead kiss

I want to remember this

It goes so fast

It won’t come back

Can’t make the clock slow down

So I’ll hold you close

I won’t let go

I’ll be right here, right now

For all the things I’ve missed

I want to remember this

A packed up trunk

A tank of gas

The last one leaves

And after that

A quiet house reminding us

How short this story is

In this great big world

You helped me find

The smallest things can change your life

Your hand in mine

Until the end

For all the things I’ve missed

I want to remember this
