Two days used to seem so far away Now a year passes by in a blink of an eye And old age is slowly creeping up on me Responsibilities making time move faster I know I will be gone one day But you'll have a picture and a storybook in your mind Of me, so smile We'd lay between the pine trees Beside the fire on a summer's night Unknowingly making memories To keep us warm when our hearts aren't bright And when I'm on my way out Please take some comfort in knowing That you've got the thoughts of the good old days They're there to keep you going And I will be gone one day But you'll have a picture And a storybook in your mind Of me, so smile Never stop making memories Live life, don't just exist Never stop making memories Live life, don't just exist 'Cause everyday can be a good old day Yeah I will be gone one day But you'll have a picture And a storybook in your mind Of me, so smile
