Lyrics

You walked in that evening, you were just glowing
Memories were flowing as I reached for your embrace
You brought back a feeling that was lost and unknowing
Then our conversation became the heartbeat of that place

And the days go by
And we live our lives
And the days go by

So I listened closely, as you told me your story
Impassioned with life you took back the spirit that they stole
And all of your battles, and all of your glory
Your words fill the air that I breathe, they’re like comfort to my soul


And the days go by
And we live our lives
And the days go by
And we live our lives

[They say you can’t turn back the hands of time
But if you ask me I think we’re doing just fine
All the years gone by in a blink of an eye
We all went our separate ways and now we’re building our own lives
But every now and then I try to remember all the good times and all my good friends
Hanging out, feeling out the good vibes, no need to criticize
That I’m being nostalgic, all I want is the magic]

The hours were fading as the music kept playing
The candle was burning perfectly mirrored in your eyes
And I am so grateful that we took in the moment
Encapsulated in time like a little pearl of life

And the days go by
And we live our lives
And the years go by
And we live our lives

…One day at a time
