Photographs and Memories
The days they come and go
And the weeks they surely fly
Months turn quickly into years
But I can never say goodbye
The seasons they change with speed
Night and day merge into one
It is raining in my broken heart
As I wait forlonly for an eternal sun
Photographs and memories are all that remain
Reminiscing about joyful times eases my pain
Yesteryear seems a long time ago
As I wait for a new tomorrow in vain
Photographs and memories are all that remain
The life I once had will never be the same
Photographs and memories are all that remain
Our fire it burned with a passion
You shone your smiling light on me
Happiness and love we shared
You awoke me and set my spirit free
The future was ours to enjoy
Until tragedy took it all away
Now I live a life that is an illusion
But I look forward to joining you one fine day
Photographs and memories are all that remain
Reminiscing about joyful times eases my pain
Yesteryear seems a long time ago
As I wait for a new tomorrow in vain
Photographs and memories are all that remain
The life I once had will never be the same
Photographs and memories are all that remain
