Lyrics:

He sits and hears
The story of his life
His tears fall down like rain
As he begins to realize

And I wish that I was near to you
And I wish that I was there again

Life is more than gold
Friends are more than old
Memories are the commonwealth

Thinking about the only Son
That He may have forgotten
You know you were the only one
Putting yourself in the place of that man

And I wish that I was near to you
And I wish that I was there again

Life is more than gold
Friends are more than old
Memories
Life is more than gold
Friends are more than old
Memories are the commonwealth

Yeah

Thanking God as the time passes by
Another man does the same
He thinks about the reasons why
Maybe she was the one to blame

And I wish that I was near to you
And I wish that I was there again

Life is more than gold
Friends are more than old
Memories
Life is more than gold
Friends are more than old
Memories are the commonwealth
