Memories

MEMORIES
Lyrics by Toni Burcher

Verse 1:
Time moves much too quickly.
Everyone is busy.
Moving on.
Keeping that one step ahead.
Looking forward to future gain.
Last year’s old.
Living in this world of change.
Reminds me time and time again.
That the past is gone.

CHORUS:
Carrying memories.
So many yesterdays.
Live in me.
Changing throughout the years.
Living through hopes and fears.
Memories.
Carrying me through the years.
Missing what has disappeared.
Yesterday.
Missing what is not here.
But memories won’t disappear.
Memories.

Verse 2:
Nothing now comes freely.
Everyone is needy.
Holding on.
Those who have so rarely share.
Those who have-not, will share what’s spare.
It seems so wrong.
Watching while the divide grows.
Seeing the change. My heart does know.
What is going on.

CHORUS:
Carrying memories.
So many yesterdays.
Live in me.
Changing throughout the years.
Living through hopes and fears.
Memories.
Carrying me through the years.
Missing what has disappeared.
Yesterday.
Missing what is not here.
But memories won’t disappear.
Memories.

Verse 3:
A future that does threaten.
Every bone does question.
Progression.
Moving forward at any cost.
In gaining much we’ve lost so much.
What’s to come?
The steps we take are ours to choose.
Our history shows what we’ve got to lose.
Reminding of lessons.

CHORUS:
Carrying memories.
So many yesterdays.
Live in me.
Changing throughout the years.
Living through hopes and fears.
Memories.
Carrying me through the years.
Missing what has disappeared.
Yesterday.
Missing what is not here.
But memories won’t disappear.
Memories.
