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
