On the ^GM7top of my desk mid the ^CM7clutter and dust sits an ^GM7old 5x8 black and ^CM7white It's ^GM7one of my favorite ^CM7pictures of us I'll ^Ccarry with me all my ^Dlife ^Am7I must have been a-^Dbout five or ^Gsix Mom's ^Amhair was still brown and ^CDad's was still ^Gthick But to ^Clook at it ^Emnow some-^Ctimes I get ^Gscared To ^Cthink that some-^Emday they ^Cmight not be ^Dthere

'Cause ^Cwho's gonna ^Dknow but ^Gme Who'll ^Chelp me re^Dcall those ^Gsmall mem-o-^Cries ^AmI'm all that's ^Dleft of this ^Gfamily of ^Cthree ^AmWho's gonna ^Dknow but ^GM7me' ^CM7

^GM7Down in the cellar ^CM7under the steps Sits an ^GM7old box of junk that I've ^CM7saved ^GM7Newspaper clippings, ^CM7letters and cards ^CEven some code-a-phone ^Dtapes ^Am7Slices of life I can ^Dhold in my ^Ghand And ^Amshow to my kids so they ^Cmight under-^Gstand In t^Chose years to ^Emcome when they ^Cask me some ^Gnight What ^CGrandma and ^EmGrandpa ^Cused to be ^Dlike

'Cause ^Cwho's gonna ^Dknow but ^Gme Who'll ^Chelp me re^Dcall those ^Gsmall mem-o-^Cries ^AmI'm all that's ^Dleft of this ^Gfamily of ^Cthree ^AmWho's gonna ^Dknow but ^Gme'
