From the recording A New Day
This is my first collaborative effort with lyrics penned by Becky Marshall who wrote this out from memory while listening to me rehearse with my band at a local tavern. After she told me that she also writes songs but only lyrics, I told Becky that I would love to have a look at her songs, and before I left, she handed me this song. Her writing was so pure and honest, which made the music process flow with ease.

Memories – Becky Marshall & Katie Miller ©2016
I remember your farm, that old lawn tractor
Carrying firewood in my arms and hearing your laughter
The smell of the kitchen and that old lego set
We were always itching to build something with it
And I know everyone has to go, eventually
But this is too soon, there is so much I didn’t say
I should have spent more time with you
I should have shared my dreams with you
I should have told you I loved you
And how much you meant to me
Cause now all I’ve got are memories
I remember the exhibition and Port George Beach
A house cleaned to perfection that dirty socks couldn’t breach
I remember that hay bale that we always tried to climb
We would fail, but we tried everytime
And I know everyone has to go, eventually
But this is too soon, there is so much I didn’t say
I should have spent more time with you
I should have shared my dreams with you
I should have told you I loved you
And how much you meant to me
Cause now all I’ve got are memories
