Take a walk down memory lane and see where the path might lead you
Familiar things do change but in our minds they stay the same 
I can hear the voice of my Momma calling out her children's names.
She say come on in it's dinner time 
Let me help my babies fix their plates 
 
We all have memories we should not forget 
times that become part of our life 
A person so heart-felt 
When I think of you instantly I get sentimental thoughts
I get sentimental 
We were holding hands walking through the park 
It seems like yesterday 
It felt so good to be in love but our age got in the way 
I still feel the warmth of your arms 
I feel you on my face when I reminisce 
I think of this 'cause what I miss is you.
 
We all have memories we should not forget 
times that become part of our life 
A person so heart-felt 
When I think of you instantly I get sentimental thoughts
I get sentimental 
wonderful that's what you are unforgettable
You know my heart won't let me go.
Love-able 
So love-able
I get emotional when I think of your love
 
Sentimental thoughts of moments 
Captured in our minds as we grow up
Things in life do change for us, but
Memories stay the same.
Loved ones in our lives are important
Never take for granted someone
Spend some time while they're around.
 
We all have memories we should not forget 
times that become part of our life 
A person so heart-felt 
When I think of you instantly I get sentimental thoughts
I get sentimental 
wonderful that's what you are unforgetable
You know my heart won't let me go.
Love-able 
So love-able
I get emotional when I think of your love
