a time for remembrance

it's a time for remembrance

time to recall the things

i couldn't think of yesterday

now my eyes bear no resemblance

to the eyes that used to rise

at every word you'd say

but i can't hide the memory of you away

today or any other day

it's a time for remembrance

and i'll open my eyes

now the chime in the steeple

reminding me of summer sights

and nights that wouldn't end

even unfamiliar people

walking by

they sigh

and know i've lost my only friend

i used to tell myself

just dust in your eye

they couldn't be tears

you know

you don't cry

it's a time for remembrance

time to cry

and

i'll cry

no i can't hide the memory of you away

today or any other day

it's a time for remembrance

a time to cry

and

i'll cry

and

i'll cry

i'll cry
