That's how the cookie crumbles
It's just a blessing in disguise
Before you fall, you stumble
After you live, you die
Oh... Memories
--PRE CHORUS--
One day you're up, next day you're falling down
And there's no answer to be found
Sometimes you know, but this time you'll have to guess
Did anybody hear your sound?
---CHORUS---
So Remember she's your mother
And he looks just like your dad
In the end there be no other
They're the only ones you'll have
-------------------
That's how the cookie crumbles
That's how the waterfalls
Before you talk you mumble
If you can't walk you crawl
Oh...Memories, can only be inside of you
--PRE CHORUS--
One day you're up, next day you're falling down
And there's no answer to be found
Sometimes you know, but this time you'll have to guess
Did anybody hear your sound?
---CHORUS---
So Remember he's your brother
And he looked just like your dad
In the end there be no other
He's the only one you'll have
-------------------
That's how the cookie crumbles
That's how the world goes 'round
Memories, can only be inside of you
Inside of you, inside of me

THis is a really nice song....quite philosophical, which appeals to me! There are some interesting and thoughtful lyrics. I like the relatively sparse arrangement with the vocal featured quite prominently. Nicely done!

Sounds like Harry Chapin, love the violin, guitar work was great

As usual with this artist, the recording is phenomenal. The violin player adds so much to the arrangement, and the dynamic in the drums is excellent. I love the lead guitar work as well. A beautifully sentimental song, the music and lyrics all fit the emotion and mood. I thought the harmonies were spot on as well.

Liked a lot. Nice easy storytelling! Good lyrics. Big voice and great playing.

very authentic Americana - could go into Country genre as easily as Folk, both genres work for this track. vocals were nicely understated and fulfilled the role of storytelling. altogether, nicely done.
