Lyrics
For A Time (Dena's Song)
Look at us
On top of the world
You looked like a little boy
I was just a girl
Pictures on a screen
From the days of our lives
Moments to remember
From days gone by
We lived
We loved
We did it all
We fell down
We learned to fly
One day it'll all be over
One day we'll all lay down
But the world belonged to us
For a time
We climbed tall mountains
Felt the sun on our skin
Laid on the beach
Watched the tide rolling in
Looked at the stars
Listened to the storms
Played in the snow
Let the fire keep us warm
We lived
We loved
We did it all
We fell down
We learned to fly
One day when it's over
One day we'll all lay down
But the world belonged to us
Nothing lasts forever
Seasons will change
We may have moved on
But our love remains
We lived
We loved
We did it all
We fell down
We learned to fly
One day when it's over
One day we'll all lay down
But the world belonged to us
Yeah, the world belonged to us
For a time
