lyrics

There were days I could rest my head on your shoulder
Count the ways we were getting so much bolder
There were times we walked the misty streets together
The words and rhymes floated down light as feathers
But those days are gone
These days I do my best to carry on

There were nights that seemed to last forever
Till the morning light would reveal all in its splendor
There were times that nothing mattered
Except your touch, your smile, your kiss, your laughter
Now those days are gone
These days there’s just these memories to keep me strong

There were signs our good fortune couldn’t last forever.
But for a while fate smiled on us here together
All the times that nothing mattered
Except your touch, your smile, your kiss, your laughter
But in our race with father time
We couldn't slow down the hands racing around the dial

In our race with father time
We couldn't slow down the hands racing around the dial
Yeah those days are gone
These days all that's left is to carry on
All that’s left all that’s left is to carry on
