Remember songs of yesterday
A schoolyard where the days seemed to drift away
Time stood still and children played
Way back then nothing ever seemed to change
It was a time of innocence
No clouded skies, heaven in your eyes
You smiled the day you went away
Smiled and said: Who wants to live forever?
Life is too good, too good to be true
Nothing's real except the pain
Nothing lasts forever
Life is too good, too good to be true
Nothing lasts except the falling rain
Yesterdays are so far behind
But in my dreams you're still that long lost child
Autumn chills are here again
A withered rose bleeding in tears of rain
I wish to God you'll be home soon
As I close the door to that darkened room
No farewells and no goodbyes
Just a torn away page from the book of life
Life is too good, too good to be true
Nothing's real except the pain
Nothing lasts forever
Life is too good, too good to be true
Nothing lasts except the falling rain
I wanted summer to last
I tried to call you back so many times
In my world of make believe
I wake up with your body next to mine
Oh yeah, I try to call your name
Though I know it's all the same
Remember songs of yesterday
Echoes of the past fading away
