Yes there are many precious mem'ries that I'd like to recall 

And there are some things that I would surely like to forget 

I've been up Lord I've been down and sometimes just in between 

But you know something neighbors I haven't reached to my highest mountain yet 

Yes I know Gods bless me time and time and time and time again 

And these blessings for exceeding my deepest woe 

I've had the help of loved ones and many friends who stood by me 

And without their favor I would have given up a long long time ago 

I remember my boyhood days back in Faraday Louisiana 

The long hot summer and that cool Louisiana rain 

You know sometimes I wish I could go back and relive yesterday 

Oh Lord and for a while be mama's little boy again 

You know folks the things that matter most in this old world money just can't buy 

Sweet love precious mem'ries that will live on and on and on 

And I remember Lord when I stumble sometimes fall I wonder why 

Then I'll then I'll never never never walk alone 

Yes these are the things that matter most to me 

Precious mem'ries from your friend Jerry Lee
