I'm staring in the distance looking like I'm in a daze       
And I see grandmother and granddaddy's old home place      
I see the front porch and those steps that led up there       
cousins are in the yard and there's family everywhere       
and out by the garden past the crepe myrtle tree       
I'm always running my sister's with me     
Chorus:       
It's those scenes in my mind from other days      
that stayed and now they play and they play         
And I remember them some are vivid some are dim         
Oh but today I got a glimpse       

Sometimes I see daddy walking down the steps of that jet        
that brought him home from war a proud American Vet     
And I'll get a flash of mama when I was a kid      
before a wrinkle ever touched her smooth skin       
And I see my children playing in the rain
That day I threw all their little muddy clothes away         
and sometimes they are babies and I am holding them        
oh and today I got a glimpse
Chorus:   
It's those scenes in my mind from other days          
that stayed and now they play and they play         
And I remember them some are vivid some are dim          
Oh but today I got a glimpse

Bridge:       
Sometimes all it takes is a little sun on my face to stir up a memory   
Or a summer afternoon when the sky is pink and blue         
I could think of most any good thing         

Like the first time I rode my bike and didn't fall down           
Or there I am with a young boy saying wedding vows           
And just like it was yesterday in our old family car           
Or the moment when I let Jesus in my heart                          
Chorus:           
It's those scenes in my mind from other days          
that stayed and now they play and they play           
and I remember them some are vivid some are dim                                 
Oh, but today I got a glimpse!                              
Oh, today I got a glimpse.
I'm staring in the distance looking like I'm in a daze.
