Cherished Memories

Verse 1

You know I can't remember a day that I wanna forget

Been living in these moments, but I ain't seen nothing yet

I'm glad I got you, you know that I'm glad I got you

I can't help but think all of our best days are still ahead

But I want you to know if this were our last night in this bed

I'm glad I got you, oh, I'm so glad I got you

Chorus

If every happy memory

Could be bottled up and saved

I'd keep 'em all locked up in my heart

Like a picture in a frame

I'd hold onto every kiss

Every moment, every dance

And I'd take 'em all with me when I leave

But until the day I do, girl, I'ma keep makin' new ones with you

And I'ma cherish every second

Every laugh, every tear

And keep a hundred thousand memories

Of all our happiest times

Girl, I can't wait for the good to get better

But I'm thankful for the great days behind

I'll hold 'em close forever

'Cause those are my cherished memories with you

Verse 2

Take me back to that little road to the beach in July

I can still taste the salt on your lips when I kissed you goodbye

Ooh, girl, that was something

You know that was something

And when we were dancing on the rooftop of your first apartment

We were so young, so broke, but we had everything

Ooh, girl, it was perfect

Yeah, it was, I can still feel it

Chorus

If every happy memory

Could be bottled up and saved

I'd keep 'em all locked up in my heart

Like a picture in a frame

I'd hold onto every kiss

Every moment, every dance

And I'd take 'em all with me when I leave

But until the day I do, girl, I'ma keep makin' new ones with you

And I'ma cherish every second

Every laugh, every tear

And keep a hundred thousand memories

Of all our happiest times

Girl, I can't wait for the good to get better

But I'm thankful for the great days behind

I'll hold 'em close forever

'Cause those are my cherished memories with you

Bridge

When I'm old and gray, and my memory starts to fade

I just hope I still remember your name

And the way that you look in the light

And the way that you sleep by my side

And the way that you love me the same

And I'll never forget

(Every single moment)

Never forget

(Every little kiss)

I'll never forget

(Every word you said)

'Cause they're cherished memories, oh

Chorus

If every happy memory

Could be bottled up and saved

I'd keep 'em all locked up in my heart

Like a picture in a frame

I'd hold onto every kiss

Every moment, every dance

And I'd take 'em all with me when I leave

But until the day I do, girl, I'ma keep makin' new ones with you

And I'ma cherish every second

Every laugh, every tear

And keep a hundred thousand memories

Of all our happiest times

Girl, I can't wait for the good to get better

But I'm thankful for the great days behind

I'll hold 'em close forever

'Cause those are my cherished memories with you

Outro

Yeah, they're my cherished memories

Oh-oh, with you (I can't forget)

(You're so beautiful) with you

(I'm thankful for)

Cherished memories (The great days behind)

With you (All the best days are yet to come)

With you
