Three Penny Piece --  HANDFUL OF SONGS

I heard this song performed by Declan Dunne, the lead singer for an Irish group, Three Penny Piece,
from London Ontario, Canada.  It was written by a local man whose name I do not know.

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

Some may leave money from a lifetime of saving,
Some just their names on a marble stone.
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,
Some just a smile in an old photograph  

Some may leave money from a lifetime of saving,
Some just their names on a marble stone.
It's not what you leave, it's the joy of remembering
And all I can leave you is a handful of songs.

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

Some may leave money from a lifetime of saving,
Some just their names on a marble stone.
It's not what you leave, it's the joy of remembering
And all I can leave you is a handful of songs.
