Memories memories
Good and bad
Hard to remember
Difficult to forget

We are here
But we're not there
We are somewhere
In the memory lane

They bring smiles
They bring tears
We laugh, we cry

and then a long silence

The people we love
The words they said
Whisper in our ear
Like the broken waves

They fade, never cease
Some face, some place
Some song, some gaze
They bring it all back

In the silence
We remember
We wish we were there
Then find running away

They break our heart
They mend our heart
They become us
And we them

Tis a blessing
Tis a curse
To people like us
Who remember too much.
