Yesterdays are gone forever
Swallowed up in time
Precious memories clumped together
Photographed within my mind
Times of joy and times of laughter
Like the wind they've come and gone
Borne on wings forever after
Stored in memory alone
Oh, if only we could call back
Just one picture from the past
Make it live and feel the impact
Of a time that did not last
But we're bound by time that passes
Never ever standing still
And we're trapped by memory flashes
Of a place that time has sealed
