Here's to the twilight
|
here's to the memories
|
these are my souvenirs
|
my mental pictures of everything
|
Here's to the late nights
|
here's to the firelight
|
these are my souvenirs
|
my souvenirs
|
|
I close my eyes and go back in time
|
I can see you're smiling, you're so alive
|
we were so young, we had no fear
|
we were so young, we had no idea
|
that life was just happening
|
life was just happening
|
|
Here's to your bright eyes
|
shining like fireflies
|
these are my souvenirs
|
the memory of a lifetime
|
we were wide-eyed with everything
|
everything around us
|
we were enlightened by everything
|
everything
|
|
So I close my eyes and go back in time
|
I can see you smiling, you're so alive
|
I close my eyes and go back in time
|
you were just a child then, and so was I
|
we were so young, we had no fear
|
we were so young, we had no idea
|
that nothing lasts forever
|
nothing lasts forever
|
nothing lasts
|
nothing lasts
|
you and me together
|
were always now or never
|
|
Can you hear me?
|
can you hear me?
|
I close my eyes and go back in time
|
I can see you smiling, you're so alive
|
I close my eyes and go back in time
|
you were wide-eyed, you were wide-eyed
|
we were so young, we had no fear
|
we were so young, we had just begun
|
a song we knew, but we never sang
|
it burned like fire inside our lungs
|
and life was just happening (and nothing lasts, nothing lasts forever)
|
and life was just happening (and nothing lasts, nothing lasts forever)
|
I wouldn't trade it for anything
|
my souvenirs.
