I did a bit of careful listening and here I'm again posting another song from that CD. I don't expect too many mistakes in this one, but don't hesitate to correct where I'm wrong.

HANDFUL OF SONGS
(Jerry Rasmussen)
As recorded by Jerry Rasmussen on "Handful of Songs" (2006)

All that I have is my grandfather's hammer,
And his old railroad watch with the casing all worn,
And the bible my grandmother bought her last Christmas,
That she gave to my mother, now she's passed it on.

Ch.: And some may leave money from a lifetime of savings,
Some just their name on a marble stone.
And it's not what you leave, it's the joy of remembering
And all I can leave you is a handful of songs.

Some may leave stories, well tuned in the telling
Some may leave jokes that can still make you laugh,
some may leave lessons, hard in the learning,
And some just a smile in an old photograph

How many days slip away without notice,
How many friends have we lost on the way,
How many good times are taken for granted
And only remembered when they've passed away.
