[Verse 1: Scott Silletta]

He sits and hears

The story of his life

His tears fall down like rain

As he begins to realize

[Pre-Chorus: Eric Balmer]

And I wish that I was near to you

And I wish that I was there again

[Chorus: Scott Silletta]

Life is more than gold

Friends are more than old

Memories are the commonwealth

[Verse 2: Scott Silletta]

Thinking about the only Son

That He may have forgotten

You know you were the only one

Putting yourself in the place of that man

[Pre-Chorus: Eric Balmer]

And I wish that I was near to you

And I wish that I was there again

[Chorus: Scott Silletta]

Life is more than gold

Friends are more than old

Memories

Life is more than gold

Friends are more than old

Memories are the commonwealth

Yeah

[Verse 3: Scott Silletta]

Thanking God as the time passes by

Another man does the same

He thinks about the reasons why

Maybe she was the one to blame

[Pre-Chorus: Eric Balmer]

And I wish that I was near to you

And I wish that I was there again

[Chorus: Scott Silletta]

Life is more than gold

Friends are more than old

Memories

Life is more than gold

Friends are more than old

Memories are the commonwealth
