Sometimes I feel a wave 
Of a past break in my mind 
And I know it's gone for good 
And it makes me want to cry 
Is this all we get to keep 
As the years go rollin' by 
Just a memory 
For all the days gone by.

[Chorus]
Oh you're always in my heart 
And you're often on my mind 
I will never let it die 
Just as long as I'm alive 
Sometimes it makes me sad 
That we never said goodbye 
Oh I guess it never hurts 
To hurt sometimes.

You try and hold on to the moment 
But time won't let you stay 
But for every step you take 
You lose something on the way 
You can't look forward to tomorrow 
And still hold on to yesterday 
Oh I hope that you can hear me 
When I'm saying

[Chorus]
