Good Memories
Nostalgic Reflections: Cody Bolden's 'Good Memories' Unveiled
Lyrics
16 years have gone, Since Joe passed on
Reflecting on 16 years since Joe's passing
And I'm still in our old house, Living all alone
Living alone in the house they shared
I've got a lot of good memories, In this old mind
Recalling numerous positive memories
And I think about them, All the time
Frequently thinking about those memories
I've got a lot of good memories, In this old mind
Emphasizing the abundance of good memories
And I replay them, To pass the time
Replaying memories as a way to fill time
Like back in '53, Joe got down on one knee
Recollection of Joe proposing in 1953
He looked me in the eyes, And said Anne will you marry me
Describing Joe proposing with sincerity
Or in like '84, When Jr. joined the corps
Memories of Jr. joining the military in 1984
And like in '91, When we held our first grandson
Reminiscing about the birth of their first grandson in 1991
I've got a lot of good memories, In this old mind
Reiterating the presence of positive memories
And I think about them, All the time
Continued reflection on these memories
I've got a lot of good memories, In this old mind
Underlining the significance of positive memories
And I replay them, To pass the time
Using memories as a means to pass the time
Now that the kids have moved on, And all of theirs are grown
Adapting to an empty nest as children move out
I spend my days right here, Waiting by the phone
Spending time waiting, possibly for family to call
I've got a lot of good memories, In this old mind
Reaffirming the prevalence of positive memories
And I think about them, All the time
Continued reflection and thought about memories
I've got a lot of good memories, In this old mind
Stressing the wealth of positive memories in mind
And I replay them, To pass the time
Using memories as a source of comfort and distraction
Pass the time
Emphasizing the act of passing time through memories
Pass the time
Reiteration of the theme of passing time through memories
