lyrics

When I was young you were so bright
Tucked me in said goodnight
Soft brown hair that turned to white
I didn’t think about it at the time

I didn’t think about all of the moments that I’d miss
When time finally took you away
They said time heals all wounds
but time can’t bring back you

When I was young you were always right
Your tales were tall but I wouldn’t fight
I would swear you could turn water to wine
I didn’t think about the passing time

I didn’t think about all of the moments that I’d miss
When time finally took you away
They said time heals all wounds
but time can’t bring back you

I didn’t think about all of the moments that I’d miss
When time finally took you away
They said time heals all wounds
but I can’t stop thinking of you
