Magnolias

Magnolias how they linger
And give my nose a kiss
Leaving my body waiting
To feel that from your lips
Memories of years gone by
Do you have the gift of time
Magnolias paint a picture
Visions full of bliss
Things that make you wonder
What there's left to wish
Memories of years gone by
Do you have the gift of time
Do you ever miss the days
Chasing butterflies
And rays of sunshine
Watching clouds go by
Have you ever been afraid
That for you there comes a day
When leaves change
For a final time
Memories of years gone by
Do you have the gift of time
Magnolias how they whisper
Telling sweet stories of old
You don't realize their listening
Until your stories told
Memories of years gone by
Do you have the gift of time
Do you ever miss the days
Chasing butterflies
And rays of sunshine
Watching clouds go by
Have you ever been afraid
That for you there comes a day
When leaves change
For a final time
Memories of years gone by
Do you have the gift of time
Magnolias how they linger
So close you can almost taste
Sweet honey and lemon so bitter
But will it all be in vain
Memories of years gone by
Do you have the gift of time
Do you ever miss the days
Chasing butterflies
And rays of sunshine
Watching clouds go by
Have you ever been afraid
That for you there comes a day
When leaves change
For a final time
Memories of years gone by
Do you have the gift of time
