From the recording One Again
Lyrics
A Suitcase Full of Memories
©2019 Lyrics & Music by Paul Thompson
Light on the window-sill
Dust in the air, golden rain that falls
Memories everywhere
I say goodbye to the empty room and cry
Why did you leave so soon?
So much to do, so little time to find
Now I must pack away
A lifetime of love, fit it in a day
Thank you for the times that we had
I treasure them still
A suitcase full of memories
I’ll carry for you
And when I open it
Turn back the pages
Those old fading photographs come alive again
Moments we shared still there
I stand at the door with the keys
For the last time
Not wanting to leave you there
Leave you behind
But as one door closes
So another opens
A suitcase full of memories waiting there
Moments we shared never leave
Light on the window-sill
Dust in the air, golden rain that falls
I think of you every day
In so many ways it brings you home again
To open these memories
Gifts that you gave, kindness that I save
And though we can’t go back
We’re together again in a suitcase full of memories
