I C9stumbled on a bunch of Gjunk of mine
In a C9shoebox the other Gnight
In C9between cleaning up Gfiles and messes
That EmI'd made of my Dlife
Ticket C9stubs, poems and old Gletters
I C9dumped them all out on the Gbed
Found a C9homemade birthday Gcard from mom
And Dthis is C9what it Gsaid, yeah, Dthis is C9what it Gsaid
Don't C9forget the little Gmoments
They're the C9ones that mean the Gmost
When the C9way home seems so far Gaway
Take 'emEm out and hold thDem close
And take a C9picture with your Gfather
'Cause C9one day he'll be Ggone
And don't C9forget to fill an Gold shoebox
Full of Dthings to C9look back Gon, full of Dthings to C9look back Gon
I opened C9up my grandpa's Gpocket knife
And I was C9back to his back Gporch
It was C9summertime I was Gturnin' nine
He said, "You Emwant that knife? It's Dyours"
I reC9member runnin' off Gin the yard
Carved my C9name in every Gtree
I haven't C9held it since he Gpassed away
And it Dmeant the C9world to Gme
Because Dhe meant the C9world to Gme
Don't C9forget the little Gmoments
They're the C9ones that mean the Gmost
When the C9way home seems so far Gaway
Take 'emEm out and hold thDem close
And take a C9picture with your Gfather
'Cause C9one day he'll be Ggone
And don't C9forget to fill an Gold shoebox
Full of Dthings to C9look back Gon,
Look back C9on, a little Dwindow to the past
Look back C9on, God knows Dlife goes by so fast
If Emever you should C9ever doubt the Gblessings that you've Dhad
Don't C9forget the little Gmoments
They're the C9ones that mean the Gmost
When the C9way home seems so far Gaway
Take 'emEm out and hold thDem close
And take a C9picture with your Gfather
'Cause C9one day he'll be Ggone
