It's horrific how the memory fails
As it fades into a blow, I forget just how things were
My mind's become a wanderer
But wasn't there a smile once so remarkable
That's it's still on fire in my book of dreams
That pile of memories, all of you
But when I saw it then through
Why do I never find a clue
To why that kissing smile withdrew
Wasn't there a moment where I knew?
Wasn't there a time when life was beautiful?
Like a pantomime
When actors move sublimely sure of what they do
And my regrets are through
But there's one mystery I still pursue
When life was beautiful and blue
Wasn't there a moment?
I can't recall the moment
But wasn't there a moment
When you loved me too?
You know I really can't recall the details It's horrific how the memory fails As it fades into a blow, I forget just how things were My mind's become a wanderer But wasn't there a smile once so remarkable That's it's still on fire in my book of dreams That pile of memories, all of you But when I saw it then through Why do I never find a clue To why that kissing smile withdrew Wasn't there a moment where I knew? Wasn't there a time when life was beautiful? Like a pantomime When actors move sublimely sure of what they do And my regrets are through But there's one mystery I still pursue When life was beautiful and blue Wasn't there a moment? I can't recall the moment But wasn't there a moment When you loved me too? Explain Request ×
