Remember when only a babe,

In your mother's arms you laid;

Seeking security from all harm

As safely you nestled in her arms?

Then came the age of climbing trees,

Roller skating, falling and skinning your knees.

Yes, we remember these with ease

For this is the "Magic of Memories."

Remember getting dressed up for the first date,

Every hair in place, and you couldn't be late?

Remember the diploma that sent you into society,

Filled with confidence, but much more with anxiety?

As you had been told of all the possibilities

But were you convinced the world awaited your abilities?

Yes, we remember these with ease

For this is the "Magic of Memories".

After many years, everything fell into order,

But with such monotony, the only thing you felt, was older.

Do you recall now that at the same time, in another locality,

A boy was growing up to be the world's greatest personality?

Yes, we remember these with ease

For this is the "Magic of Memories".

As your thoughts slip back to another time,

Do you remember, how for hours you stood in line,

With a ticket clutched so tightly in your hand

For it was the key, to open the door, to see this man?

Yes, we remember this with ease

For this is the "Magic of Memories",

Do you remember that beautiful form and face,

And how you dreamed of being held in his embrace?

Or how it felt when you were one of the few

Lucky enough to catch a scarf he threw?

Yes, we remember these with ease

For this is the "Magic of Memories",

Do you remember when he walked on stage and began to sing,

How you felt like you'd been hit by a bolt of lightning?

And no matter how bejeweled his suits might be,

You'd think to yourself,  "even in rags, he'd be a sight to see",

Yes, we remember these with ease

For this is the "Magic of Memories".

Though he has gone on now to greater things,

Nothing can ever stop our remembering,

The magnitude of this candle's glow

As he lit up our lives, show after show.

Yes, we remember all of these with the greatest of ease,

And we thank GOD for the "Magic of Memories".
