Lyrics

What Matters the Most/ Bill DiLuigi and Shantell Ogden

There's a yard sale today, everything must go
Miss Anita's moving in with her daughter down the road
There's afghans and fryin' pans out here on this lawn
And I ask her after 80 years how it feels to move on
She just winks at me and says

" I'm taking what matters the most
I might cry a few tears then I'll go
I don't mind the leaving behind
'Cause I'm taking what matters the most."

There's an old record player, a pair of dancing shoes
She says "See these matching shirts there from my second honeymoon
What was twenty dollars new is fifty cents today
But child the best things in life aren't things, so they can take these things away
Sweet memories don't fade"

CHORUS

Since the yard sale that day, a year came and went
We're all here dressed in black come to pay our last respects
I cant help but smile and I can't help but cry
The love she gave's on every face and it's hard to say goodbye
But she said letting go is just a part of life

CHORUS
