And the shadows grow long and your eyes look so old
Once a future so bright now seems so distant and cold
When there’s too many memories for one heart to hold
When there’s too many memories for one heart to hold
When you let your mind go and it drifts way back when
And even a fool can pretend they don’t care
There are those moments and they just never fade
And shadows grow long and your eyes look so old
Like the look in his eyes and the way the light played
Now the lesson you learn and you don’t dare forget
When there’s too many memories for one heart to hold
Once a future so bright now seems so distant and cold
When there’s too many memories for one heart to hold
And they gave you a memory that you'll have till you die
And it gets melancholy every now and again
When there’s too many memories for one heart to hold
And the shadows grow long and your eyes look so old
God moved in that moment and the angels all cried
What makes you grow old is replacing hope with regret
Life plays its tricks, some cruel but fair
Once a future so bright now seems so distant and cold
