THE THINGS THAT MATTER MOST TO ME 

WRITERS DON PITTMAN, BILL TAYLOR, THOMAS LAVERNE



Yes there are many precious mem'ries that I'd like to recall

And there are some things that I would surely like to forget

I've been up Lord I've been down and sometimes just in between

But you know something neighbors I haven't reached to my highest mountain yet

Yes I know Gods bless me time and time and time and time again

And these blessings for exceeding my deepest woe

I've had the help of loved ones and many friends who stood by me

And without their favor I would have given up a long long time ago

I remember my boyhood days back in Faraday Louisiana

The long hot summer and that cool Louisiana rain

You know sometimes I wish I could go back and relive yesterday

Oh Lord and for a while be mama's little boy again

You know folks the things that matter most in this old world money just can't buy

Sweet love precious mem'ries that will live on and on and on

And I remember Lord when I stumble sometimes fall I wonder why

Then I'll then I'll never never never walk alone

Yes these are the things that matter most to me

Precious mem'ries from your friend Jerry Lee
