C G
I stumbled on a bunch of junk of mine
C G
In a shoebox the other night
C G
In between cleaning a thousand messes
Em D
That I'd made of my life
[Verse 2]
C G
Ticket stubs, love poems and old letters
C G
I dumped them all out on the bed
C G
I found a homemade birthday card from mom
Em D G Em D G
And this is what it said, yeah, this is what it said
[Chorus]
C
Don't forget the little moments
G
They're the ones that mean the most
C
When the way home seems so far away
Em D
Take 'em out and hold them close
C G
And take a picture with your father
C Em
'Cause one day he'll be gone
C G
And don't forget to fill an old shoebox
Em D G Em D G
Full of things to look back on, full of things to look back on
[Verse 3]
C G
I opened up my grandpa's pocket knife
C G
And I was back to his back porch
C G
It was summertime I was turnin' nine
Em D
He said, "You want that knife? It's yours"
[Verse 4]
C G
I remember runnin' off in the yard
C G
Carved my name in every tree
C G
I haven't held it since he passed away
Em D G
And it meant the world to me
Em D G
Because he meant the world to me
[Chorus]
C
Don't forget the little moments
G
They're the ones that mean the most
C
When the way home seems so far away
Em D
Take 'em out and hold them close
C G
And take a picture with your father
C Em
'Cause one day he'll be gone
C G
And don't forget to fill an old shoebox
Em D G
Full of things to look back on
[Bridge]
C
Look back on, a little window to the past
G
Look back on, God knows life goes by so fast
Am G/B C D
If ever you should ever doubt the blessings that you've had
[Chorus]
C
Don't forget the little moments
G
They're the ones that mean the most
C
When the way home seems so far away
Em D
Take 'em out and hold them close
C G
And take a picture with your father
C Em
'Cause one day he'll be gone
C G
And don't forget to fill an old shoebox
Em D G
Full of things to look back on
[Outro]
C G
I stumbled on a bunch of junk of mine
C G
In a shoebox the other night
