Distant memories of people past
Days, hours, minutes that did not last
Time didn't wait for us to grow
Life moved on so long ago.
Pictures fade--the words begin to disappear
Emptiness in frames hollow and clear,
Stare back at us in solemn woe
Life moved on so long ago
Bittersweet, the chapter must always end
A vague and beautiful memory of a friend
Of a time when life was constant and slow,
Life moved on so long ago.
