The years go rolling by
leaving behind  only memories
precious ones
dark ones
unforgettable ones

The years go so quickly
children stomping in mud puddles
teenagers talking on the telephone
music changes
and we keep on going strong

The years have surpassed us
with shattered dreams
broken promises
painful nights
tears that fell like rain

But again in a new light
the years have given us
new hope
new love
new dreams
and a reason for living

The past lies in the past
the storms are long gone
think of tomorrow
and remember
today is a gift
