I recall being younger always
Taking time to find the love
In the broken-hearted days
As of late these cloudy skies are always
Raining on my parade
I need to find the balance in life
I recall being younger always
Having you beside me
Walking hand in hand in the summer heat
As the time passes faster, fades away
We grow further apart
I wish we could go back to where we started from
Every now and then I wonder how you are
I used to cry my eyes out
My river's run dry
Now and then I forget who you are
Your name is unfamiliar
And my heart beats on
A baby birdie said
"Have patience, by and by
It gets easier to keep the hurt inside,
And keep hope alive
When tales from long ago come to close
The shades are drawn
Then shadows form
Just like that
The past is gone, gone, gone"
Every now and then I wonder how you are
I used to cry my eyes out
My river's run dry
Now and then I forget who you are
Your name is unfamiliar
And my heart beats on
Turn around, I'll freeze frame your face
And I'll keep it locked away for when I miss you
Turn around, these moments seem so unlike what I knew
You're like a ghost of you
Every now and then I wonder how you are
I used to cry my eyes out
My river's run dry
Now and then I forget who you are
Your name is unfamiliar
And my heart beats on
Every now and then I wonder what you meant
When you said you'd be here
That we would still be friends
You'd think by now we'd have made amends
I guess sooner or later, everything ends
