In Their Words: "This is my mama's new favorite song of mine, since it puts into words my honest sentiments about treasured people and experiences from times past. At a certain point in the song's development, I needed another verse and it just wasn't coming to me. That's usually when I turn to my wife Jenny for some input. She nailed it with the next-to-last verse. Mostly, this song is just my way of expressing very basic, universal feelings that I figure most everyone has about the lasting impression certain memories have. I hope everyone can relate." — Larry Keel
