[Verse 1] Been a daughter, sister, aunt, great aunt So many memories in my hands Picture frames and Sunday calls Little shoes in the hall Been a wife, widow, mother So many ups and downs, one after another Held the door through rain and pride Kept my heart open wide [Pre-Chorus] Been a lover and a friend Never thought it would end Thought we seen it all Still I got back up from the fall [Chorus] So many memories So many memories Growing through the pains Enjoying the laughter So many memories So many memories All of the joy and the sadness I kept on after [Verse 2] Been a grandmother and great grandmother Kitchen chairs lined up one after the other Sticky fingers, wedding rings Tiny voices, grown-up dreams Some days hurt, some days heal Some days break what I can’t conceal But I’m still here, still standing tall Still loving through it all [Pre-Chorus] Been a lover and a friend Never thought it would end Thought we seen it all Still I got back up from the fall [Chorus] So many memories So many memories Growing through the pains Enjoying the laughter So many memories So many memories All of the joy and the sadness I kept on after [Bridge] If you ask me who I am I’m every mark upon my hands Every tear and every grace Every name I can still say I carried them, they carried me Through the dark and family And I would not trade one road For the heart that I have known [Final Chorus] So many memories So many memories Growing through the pains Enjoying the laughter So many memories So many memories All of the joy and the sadness I kept on after
