Memories last a lifetime
Thoughts of long long ago
Memories last a lifetime
Feelings that continue to grow
Memories last a lifetime
Tears that defiantly flow
The minutes are running away
Rampant hours they will not stay
Weeks quickly pass by in a blink
Months cascade don’t you think
Years evaporate before your eyes
Decades vanish that’s no suprise
Memories last a lifetime
Sometimes good sometimes bad
Memories last a lifetime
Often happy occasionly sad
Memories last a lifetime
You were sane and a little mad
So as you reflect and contemplate
Think about your impending fate
Was it worth the joy and pain
Would you happily do it all again
Your existence was only a gleam
Were you just a mirage and dream
Memories last a lifetime
One day your final bell will toll
Memories last a lifetime
Who will save your tortured soul
Memories last a lifetime
Goodbye you have reached your goal
Memories last a lifetime
