Lyrics

Class Reunion (November '91) - words and music by Ryan Sheeler (2013)

VERSE 1
I didn't really find out 'til I read the old headlines
From the city paper; now its class reunion time
I didn't know him too well and I didn't know her at all
It was just months after I left town as summer changed to fall

VERSE 2
Life took me away from them by the summer's end
I lost touch with most of them but I still kept some friends
So I don't know how cold it was that November day
I read it in the papers; 20 years replayed

CHORUS
Times passed quickly and the smiles fade away
Laughter turns to memories those memories always stay
But this time it was different; One act changed it all
We all aged 10 more years when they buried them that fall....

VERSE 3
Pictures in the yearbook and the articles that I found
now I know two are missing and two families cheated out
it's 20 years later and my friends still look the same
Time heals a lot of things except for all the pain

VERSE 4
we all met at a local bar and we talked the night away
while the slideshow clicked and the memories stayed
I just know we lost something.... Somehow, someway,
Prayers will enter in where there are no words to say...

CHORUS

SOLO/BRIDGE

CHORUS - END
