Lyrics
SNAPSHOTS OF LOVE
V1 (longer than V 2,3,4) Snapshots of love, mem?ries so dear,
You were so little, and now we are here.
Your feet were the length of my tiniest finger,
Hugs late at night, precious memories linger?
Time?s wings have carried us, how we have flown.
You?re a great part of the joy I have known.
V2 Your first loose tooth, going to school.
Growing so tall, your clothes became small.
But you never outgrew your smile or my hug!
Precious reminders, these snapshots of love.
V3 I can recall, the first step you took.
Learning to talk, and reading a book.
Driving a car, and turning sixteen
Snapshots of love, all the mem?ries between.
V4 Pages have turned, how much you?ve learned;
And you?ve taught me so much, the meaning of love.
Each milestone you?ve met, I?ll never forget
Oh, the beautiful joy in these snapshots of love.
V5 (Longer than V 2,3,4) Snapshots of love, mem?ries so dear
You were so little, and now we are here.
With mem?ries we?ll treasure, all of our years,
Sadness and joy, smiles and tears
Time?s wings have carried us, how we have flown.
You?re a great part of the joy we have known.
