Calendars stay in the hardest ways
And you can feel it when time just won't wait
Does anything last?
Growing up so fast
You're looking up now for a sign, for their trace
You got older over that shoulder
Raising stakes high, a real ace holder
When passing lights pull, life invisible
Did they let go?
'Cause they've still got a hand
Though their cards have fleeted, it's clear
That they've still got a hand out here
Though their cards have fleeted, it's clear
That they've still got a hand out here
Out here!
When you're alone through the dark part of life
You lost an old friend and it cuts like a knife
Their story's still going in all that you do
You lived on with them, now they live on with you
Oh, they live on, live on
When you live on, live on too
Oh, they live on, live on
When you bring them, bring them through
When you bring them, bring them through
They'd want it all, it all for you
When you're in bed recalling as you lay
You may find some advice their old laugh will convey
So, laugh like hell along and dream something new
And keep your souvenirs for them and for you
Oh, they live on, live on
When you live on, live on too
Oh, they live on, live on
When you bring them, bring them through
Oh, they live on, live on
When you live on, live on too
When you bring them, bring them through
They'd want it all, it all for you
When you're alone through the dark part of life
You lost an old friend and it cuts like a knife
Their story's still going in all that you do
You lived on with them, now they live on with you
