Remembering Strawberry Fields

Liner Notes

I was thinking about picking strawberries so many years ago, when I was a young person. Living on a farm, where my grandfather planted what seemed like acres of berries that needed picking. So many hours spent picking berries. I have a different appreciation now for those days in the sun.

Lyrics

Remembering Strawberry Fields
Verse 1:
When I hear Strawberry Fields, the melody brings me back,

To the gardens where I once wandered, with my papa in the past,

It’s not an anthem, but it stirs something deep inside,

Where the echoes of my youth and all those dreams still reside.

Chorus:
Oh, the faces and the places, how they’ve changed with time,

But in my mind, they linger, like an old familiar rhyme,

The laughter and the heartache, in those fields that we roamed,

Though the years have flown, in my soul they’ve found a home.

Verse 2:
The corners of my memory hold the tales of days gone by,

Where we chased the setting sun beneath the summer’s sky,

Each shadow on the furrows tells a story of its own,

Of the family who came, and the dreams that they've sown.

Chorus:

Bridge:
We danced in the twilight of those long-forgotten lanes,

With every step, the music of the past still remains,

Though the farm’s grown older, and the buildings have all changed,

The spirit of our youth in my heart is still engrained.

Chorus:

Outro:
So when I hear those tunes that once filled the air,

I’m taken back to moments where we didn’t have a care,
It’s not an anthem, but it feels like coming home,

To the places and the people, where my heart will always roam.
