Today I heard them play the song again
An old familiar strain from way back then
Every note and every line
It's always been a favorite song of mine

It used to haunt me so some years ago
Reminds of a boy I used to know
And although the melody lives on
The memories and the boy are all but gone

chorus.
(And/So) while the song still brings that certain glow
And the words still sing of love I know
It isn't quite the way it was before
I remember the boy
But I don't remember the feeling anymore

The promises we made seemed easier then
As if we knew our love would never end
But seasons change
And time erases the tears
As quickly as the river disappers

chorus
