THE THINGS THAT MATTER MOST TO ME
|
WRITERS DON PITTMAN, BILL TAYLOR, THOMAS LAVERNE

|
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
