Photographs Fade Like Memories

The night is cold Just like every other night The stars are bright But they shy away their light Just to see you Just to see you Just to see you tonight And you can't hold back a smile As the spotlight Surrounds you for a while Another turning point in our lives Has come our way It's unfolding right before our eyes I want to to stay How the years have passed And the months have turned Into weeks and days And the hours Into minutes Now I'm seconds away From missing you And the quite things That we've been through But now they're screaming in my mind As we helplessly leave them behind Another turning point in our lives Has come our way It's unfolding right before our eyes I want to to stay But I can't Someday we'll all fade into memories For better or for worse As tiny moments begin to freeze Into photographs of perfect smiles and poetries Like lovely picture stories But I'd rather have the worst one Because the best part hurts the most The best part hurts Another turning point in our lives Has come our way It's unfolding right before our eyes I want to to stay But I can't Because tomorrow's holding on to me As I'm falling into memories Of what we used to be And I can't hold back a tear in my eye But I won't be sad Because we had our time while it lasted But nothing lasts forever now We'll write a new equation Somehow Maybe one day I'll meet you in the streets of time I hope you won't be Just a familiar face with a name I fail To remember
