When memories stir with gossamer wings
to transport you back home again
best to leave them in the lingering mists
of the places you have been.
to transport you back home again
best to leave them in the lingering mists
of the places you have been.
You can’t get an armful of summer breeze
and you can’t unring a bell
None can capture yesterday
and perhaps that’s just as well.
and you can’t unring a bell
None can capture yesterday
and perhaps that’s just as well.
Feast from the tree of lessons learned
but keep your eye upon tomorrow
Gather happy moments as hidden gems
avoid the torn fabric of sorrow.
but keep your eye upon tomorrow
Gather happy moments as hidden gems
avoid the torn fabric of sorrow.

I like to find your future bright... carried on the back of those happy memories.
