lyrics

There is someone you remind me of
if my memory serves me well
a child I knew so many years ago
though lately it’s harder to tell

Every prayer with your name on my lips
offered up so faithfully
I question where they all came to land
were they just whispered in futility?

You shined so bright in your youthful age
free of worries free of cares
but now I weep for the choices you made
and the cross that you have to bear

It’s the memories I want
the former glories I’ve stored away
as I’m unwilling to confront
the man that you’ve become today
It’s the victories I hold
the triumphs of another time
everything that I can still control
and live out safely in my mind

There are moments when you let me see
a glimpse of what we were
a shared laugh or a stroke of your hand
perhaps a delicately chosen word

now the faces smiling back at me
in a faded photograph
look unfamiliar to the discerning eyes
of this outsider looking back

The beaming faces of a bride and groom
since eclipsed by life’s demands
now world weary and grasping to cling
to what they once held in their hands

See it’s the memories I want
the former glories I’ve stored away
as I’m unwilling to confront
the people we’ve become today
It’s the victories I hold
the triumphs of another time
everything that I can still control
and live out safely in my mind

How you savor who you were back then
So vibrant in your prime
It all seemed to come so naturally
now it’s just face lifts and hair dyes

You’re not too proud to admit you loved
that constant chorus of the camera’s flash
your face on the cover of the magazines
men lining up for your autograph

now it’s hard to find an honest man
who will take you as you are
a woman who can no longer rely
upon her looks to take her so far

it’s the innocence of youth
that fountain that never runs dry
though it tells only half the truth
while we let life just pass us by

sometimes it’s just the memories we want
the former glories we’ve stored away
when we’re unwilling to confront
the people we’ve become today
it’s the victories we hold
the triumphs of another time
everything that we can still control
and live out safely in our minds
everything that we can still control
and live out safely in our minds
