Heirlooms

These four walls stood
Stood for something you can never leave behind
Behind the eyes of sadness
We poured over
A lifetime of sentiments and collectables
Dividing up these precious treasures
And I never dreamed these things would mean anything to me
You can't take them with, so you leave behind what you love
It's understood, what might seem like knick knacks to me
Encapsulated your dreams
So I'll try to find the beauty of your smile
In each trinket I keep
And I never dreamed these things would mean anything to me
You can't take them with, so you leave behind what you love
And I never dreamed...
I may not have much, but these amulets make me feel strong
Take what you want, just remember me when I'm gone
I may not have much, but these amulets make me feel strong
Take what you want, just remember me
Isn't it nice, like sugar and spice
Everything that a girl could need
Long pearls, short hair for girls
Fringe down to my knees
Lovely ladies lined in pink and gold we called a cameo
Tiny pictures in black and white we called a tin-type
I may not have much, but these amulets make me feel strong
Take what you want, just remember me when I'm gone
I may not have much, but these amulets make me feel strong
Take what you want, just remember me
Remember me
Remember me
