Laughter in the distance

Unfamiliar cadence

Smell the scent of your youth

Fragrant in the breeze

Sitting in your bedroom

All alone you wait to hear the sound

Of a door once locked now opening

Every time your frozen

Memories come to thaw

Bit by bit melts away 'til

There's nothing at all

Even when they're gone you

Hold on so tightly to them

In your heart you will never forget

Birds sing in the distance

Old familiar cadence

Smell the scent of your youth

Fragrant in the rain

Sitting in your bedroom

All alone you wait to hear the sound

You've been longing for for a lifetime

Every time your frozen

Memories come to thaw

Bit by bit melts away 'til

There's nothing at all

Even when they're gone we

Hold on so tightly to them

In our hearts we will never forget
