Kathy Mattea - Who's Gonna Know lyrics

On the top of my desk mid the clutter and dust Sits an old eight by ten black and white It's one of my favorite pictures of us I'll carry with me all my life I must have been about five or six Mom's hair was still brown and dad's was still thick But to look at it now sometimes I get scared To think that someday they might not be there Cause who's gonna know but me Who'll help me recall those small memories When I'm all that's left of this family of three Who's gonna know but me Down in the cellar under the steps Sits an old box of junk that I've saved Newspaper clippings letters and cards Even some code-a-phone tapes Slices of life I can hold in my hand And show to my kids so they might understand In those years to come when they ask me some night What grandma and grandpa used to be like Cause who's gonna know but me Who'll help me recall those small memories When I'm all that's left of this family of three Who's gonna know but me If life were a video I could rewind I'd go back and slow down each moment in time Then I'd disconnect the fast forward bu*ton So I'd have forever to tell them I love them The older I get I can't get enough of them Cause who's gonna know but me Who'll help me recall those small memories When I'm all that's left of this family of three Who's gonna know but me Who's gonna know but me
