Still Reminiscing · 21 December 2022

(in Key of D major)

Ridin’ our bikes up and down the street
Poppin’ a wheelie, that was quite a feat
And Skynyrd always blarin’ on the radio
Do you remember all the dumb stuff we used to do?
With Christian and Joe and I don’t remember who
When did we start tellin’ tales on the patio?

Chorus1:

I can’t believe that it’s come to this
When we get together we just reminisce
But then again…
It ain’t no mystery
It’s just history
Reminiscing

Remember high school when we played the big game
Watching the kids now, it’s just the same
They get pumped up like we used to do
The cheerleaders and the band and everyone got ready
While the whole team got pumped listenin’ to Coach Freddy
I can feel it now and I know you do too

Chorus 1:

I can’t believe that it’s come to this
When we get together we just reminisce
But then again…
It ain’t no mystery
It’s just history
Reminiscing

Now we just get together to remember someone
To say our last goodbyes when this life on earth is done
Then we sit around and tell our old stories
Ridin’ our bikes, playin’ in the big game
You had a big crush on her, man she still looks the same
We always sit around tellin’ our stories

Bridge (2x):

His stories: Reminiscing
Her stories: Reminiscing
Heart stories: Reminiscing
Our stories: Reminiscing

I don’t wanna get together just to remember someone
To say our last goodbyes when this life on earth is done
I wanna live to tell new stories
My kid scraped her knee playin’ in a big game
Yeah, she’s only five, but still it’s the same
I’m livin’ life and tellin’ new stories

Chorus 2:

Well, I can’t believe that it’s come to this
When we get together we just reminisce
But then again…
It ain’t no mystery
It’s just history
Reminiscing

Bridge:

His stories: Reminiscing
Her stories: Reminiscing
Heart stories: Reminiscing
Our stories: Reminiscing
New stories: Reminiscing
New stories: Reminiscing
New stories: Reminiscing
Our stories: Reminiscing

A Last Good-bye · 6 November 2016

words by Michael T. Miyoshi
music by Michael T. Miyoshi & Todd Namba

I tried to write a song to say
How much you meant to me
A song of love and happiness
That I’d sing joyfully.
It would be a song from all of us
From deep within our hearts
A song to say more than your memories
Will live within our hearts.

But when I think of all the family
And friends you left behind
I can’t hold back the flood of tears
And sadness fills my mind
The tears of grief are not for you
But for the rest of us
For now we have just memories
Instead of you to hug.

I tried to write a song today
To say how much you meant to us
But words alone can not convey
The way you’ve touched each one of us.

And as I tried to write a song today
All I could do was cry
So the last thing that we give to you
Is this last good-bye.

Mamas Love Their Children · 13 October 2003

Mamas love their children like God loves each of us
They love them and protect them with every ounce of their strength and love
They give them hugs and kisses morning, noon, and night
When mamas love their children everything in the world is right

Chorus:
     Mama, thanks for giving me all your love
     Thank you for showing me      God’s love from above
     Thank you for loving me no matter what I do
     Mama I’ve got to tell you I love you so much too

Mamas love their children no matter what they do
Even when kids behave badly a mama’s love is true
They say a prayer for protection every time kids say “Goodbye”
And they don’t breathe or sleep until they come again and tell her “Hi”

Chorus

Mamas love their children and ‘though daddies love them too
Kids seem to love their mamas more than dads about times two
And ‘though dads love their children like God loves each of us
Kids still run to their mamas when they need kisses and hugs

Chorus
