I take a lifetime, turn it into song
To hold it captive deep within my breast,
And I call it to me whenever I can't see your face
For the words recall what time can't erase.
Chorus
And I remember all the joy and laughter
All the times of gladness from a life now gone,
And the sweet, sweet music,
So pure that I forget to breathe,
Though the singer's gone, still the song lives on.
I take a lifetime, toss it in the wind
To watch the sorrows falling to the ground,
But the times of gladness
Float above the breeze so high
To become as many songs
As there are stars in the sky.
And I remember all the joy and laughter
All the times of gladness from a life now gone,
And the sweet, sweet music,
So pure that I forget to breathe,
Though the singer's gone, still the song lives on.
