Hand​-​me​-​down Memories

from Sweet & Sorrow by Catherine Ruth

/

lyrics

I’ve built a collection of memories to share
How else to explain someone who’s no longer there
And hand-me-down memories are stitches in time
If I tell enough stories maybe he’ll be alive to you

The weight of his voice when he showed you he cared
The way that he stressed about airports and cars
When you had good news he’s the first one you’d call
The swell of his laughter, the heights he would throw you

But perhaps if I love you the best I know how
Drop all and come running the second you’re lost
In that moment is where you might finally meet
The pieces of him living on inside of me
