Life Full of Memories                      
Dedicated to Velma Lee Johnson

CHORUS:
Your dad built your house with his very own hands.
Times were hard in your childhood; you made it through with humor.
You loved to learn history, loved to read.
You love your life, you love all your memories every single one.

You were born in a sandstorm on October 1922,
You lived on a farm in Littlefield Texas.
You had to wear goggles when you were walking to school.
You had to wear a dress so pricks wouldn’t hurt your feet.

 CHORUS

You loved apples and everything your mother made,
even the veggies and the fruits.
You loved to play games at the vacant lodge.
Bridge was your favorite game.

CHORUS

 

The memory of your husband lingers in your mind.
You met him when you worked in the Navy.
He was a Marine captain, you married him in a war.
You had a honeymoon in California.

CHORUS

You made many friends in school.
You became a cheerleader and a drum major.
Your favorite teacher was Mr. Layfield.
You went to San Diego state college.
6th and 1st grades were your favorite grades.

 CHORUS

You wrote poetry; you loved it so much.
You loved to watch Captain Blood, you watched it 3 times,
You loved to read Nancy Drew,
But Jane Austin is your favorite author.

CHORUS

On last chorus add every single one, one more time
Written by Samantha Su, Caroline Wittig, Alfredo Gil,
Ernie Vita.
