I wonder where they go
All these memories like photographs
How they fade so quickly
And the colours never seem to last
Forget all the good times
Always remember the bad
Now my memories are fading
Like all of these old photographs
Like back when we first met
I was just a kid maybe twenty five
Thought I'd seen the world over
Till I saw how it looked through your eyes
It stood there so naked
Not hidden neath some disguise
Now my memories are fading
Like all of these moments of time
It's true what they say
How the years just fly on by
Yes you once were a young man
Now there's darkness hidden deep in your eyes
You look in the mirror
You see the passage of time
You see it so clearly
Now you're looking through your fathers eyes
And I wonder how it'll be
When my time comes to pass
When I breathe my last breath
And the worlds grip loosens at last
Will the lights dim quickly
Will it all fade to dusk slow or fast
Will I look down upon you from my place in this old photograph
Will I look down upon you from my place in this old photograph
