Old Songs

Some songs are too sad to hear

Because they remind me of how happy we used to be

Or of all the things I did when I wasn't me

For better or worse I can't sever that verse

From a day that hurts to much to think about

"How happy we were"

What a sad thing to say

Details slip through my fingers as the time ran away

I could live in those hours but can't fake that I age

Hate to move on but darling it's time to turn the page

"How happy we were"

What a sad thing to say

Details slip through my fingers but the colours won't fade

Wish I could give you a picture with just a thousand words

As I watch words run away

Don't remember why you said that

But it made everyone laugh

Walk along the punchline

Retracing our steps

Somewhere along the line we passed the time

Did we let it pass us by?

"How happy we were"

What a sad thing to say

Details slip through my fingers but the colours won't fade

Wish I could give you a picture with just a thousand words

As I watch words run away

I miss our old songs but they make me so sad

Reminders of all the better and worse days we once had

I guess that's the thing with a perfect song

It stays it your head long after it's gone

Gone gone gone

Is it really gone?

How could I have been so wrong how in the world did we go on?

But for better or worse I can still hear those songs
