Original text with translation

Childhood Memories

Iris DeMent

Fireflies inside of a mason jar

Acting big behind the wheel of daddy’s car

Playing church around the old piano stand

You were quite a preacher and oh, we sang so grand

I remember every night what we would say and do

«If you’ve forgiven me, then I’ve forgiven you»

And now when life begins to get the best of me

I reminisce these childhood memories

We built a raft and traveled all around the world

And stopped for penny candy at the corner store

You let me fly your kite but when I dropped the string

I thought my life was over, but Mama rescued me

When I was just a kid you taught my prayers to me

Then you turned around and you told me about those birds and bees

Come what may, you’ve been endeared to me

Because we share these childhood memories

Well, time, it moved so fast;

those days are over now

We’ve all gone our separate ways, but still somehow

I often need to telephone and talk to you

To see if you remember things the way I do

It won’t be too much longer till we’ll be old and gray

And winding up our travels here on life’s highway

But no matter where I roam, I’ve got you here with me

When I reminisce these childhood memories

Ooh…
