Thanks for the Memories

Thanks for the Memories
(Farewell Party for Nancy Evans a children’s leader of music, and more as an accompanist for local community choirs, and an inspiration for generations to come for the joy of music, and in her heart, Christian Music)
(To the tune “Thanks for the Memory”)


Thanks for the memories,
A treasure hunt you made,
We sang we danced we stayed,
Was much more fun than X-box
Or Nintendo that we played,
Exciting is was.


Thanks for the memories,
You gave us instruments,
We learned in increments,
You smiled so wide; we felt your pride
We played with confidence,
How lucky we were.


(Refrain)
You were in love with our children,
You with your bounce and big grin,
God and His kingdom had a big win,
You walk in our doors,
We called you ours.


Thanks for the memories,
You put us in a mood,
For restaurants and food,
The recipe our Bible
And its loving attitude,
How savory it was.


Thanks for the memories,
You really set a pace,
For rocket ships in space,
An out of world experience
Toward our Jesus’ loving face,
How precious you are.


(Refrain)
You were in love with our children,
You with your bounce and big grin,
God and His kingdom had a big win,
You walk in our doors,
We called you ours.


Thanks for the memories,
For everything you are,
Each child to you a star,
You showered them with God’s love
And to be the best by far,
We love you so much!
