I remember when I was told to take care of my possessions To keep them close to never ever let them go But surely enough I managed to misplace my fortune Did I give it away with my first kiss? Or was it maybe stolen in front of me? I remember when I was told to be on my best behaviour To sit still and calm down and in my faults I was a kid with a lot of opinions But now I can't seem to find them anywhere And I guess I must've lost them somewhere I remember when I was told that someday I'd get older Memories would fade away and take a part of me With no surprise I am fading away But I'll not let go of things that I hold dear And I hope I won't forget to hold them near When the darkest night whispers in my ear
