Sometimes I get just a sniff br A whiff of a memory br A time or a place br Of people br A Face br I might be reminded br Of a moment gone by br By a song br Or a sound br Just the feeling around br It might be the taste br Of some food or a wine br Hearing distant laughter br Or a car going by br It could be a picture br Or the tone of a voice br Like a cool gentle breeze br And my eyes become moist br Sometimes just a sniff br A whiff of a day br Is all that I need br And I feel OK br For today are the memories br I’ll have tomorrow br There’ll be more joy br And a lot less sorrow br A sniff of the days br That have long since past br Will always be there br And will last br And so if I seem br A little displaced br When my eyes have glazed over br And I stare into space br It’s not that I’m sad br Or thinking “What if”? br I really am fine br It’s just a sniff.
