Album Note: Time is the ultimate journey, and as I see the "footprints of emotion" on my face, I am thankful for all the years -- hard and easy -- I've been blessed to have on this earth.

LYRICS:
Every time we smile
Each time that we feel pain
A tiny record of the way
We felt then will remain
These footprints of emotion
That decorate our face
Are evidence of living
This life that we embrace
Grin lines show our laughter
Grin lines show our tears
They show the world the life
We’ve lived in all our years
We wear those lines with pride
They show we can survive
The love and loss, the joy and fear
That make us feel alive
The sunlight and the wind
From days we spent outside
Have etched a pattern on our face
Of lines around our eyes
The best times of our lives
Are in that sweet design
The fresh air and the sunlight
Are written in each line
CHORUS
My daddy’s work was hard
His furrowed face reveals
And lines of kindness from his eyes
Show the love he feels
My Mama’s face remembers
The love that she’s bequeathed
And the lines upon her face
Are from smiles she gave to me
CHORUS
