Lyrics
My house has a yard with trees on every side
Across the street is a park where the children play
And I sit on the stairs and watch the girls and boys
Run against the wind, no reason to count the days
If only for a moment I can see you sitting there
We're feeling gray but younger than our years
These days I remember you in laughter and in tears
I do
We had so many things to see, so many plans to make
So many words to say, and a life to live
I never thought I'd see a time when I'd sit and think like this
Where I'd remember days gone by
But it's the future that I'd miss
If only for a moment I can see you sitting there
Trading memories that used to be so clear
These days I remember you in laughter and in tears
I do
I think of being old
I think of being young
I think of being both and I miss you
If only for a moment I can see you sitting there
We're feeling gray but younger than our years
These days I remember you in laughter and in tears
I do
I do
I do remember you
