Memories and dreams
Sometimes run together
Blasts from the past
Keeping us alive
As the years roll around
The recollections remain vivid
The solid ground of living
The love that lives on
From the time that now is gone

They linger and flicker
Tasty mental hors d’ouvres
That almost satisfy
Lord, didn’t we have a time?
Sweet nostalgia
That brings a weepy smile
For the good times we had
And for what we missed
For the love we shared
For the times we kissed

It’s not anybody’s fault
Things just turned out this way
We are lovers like no others
In those yesterdays
Leaving memories and dreams
Oh those joyous times of yore
I’ve had a good life
Really couldn’t ask for more
