It hurts to look back on the old days
Because I know things will never be the same
When we went out dancing in the pouring rain
And I wasn't paranoid about future pain.
When we'd run through streets without a care
Our joy would rain down from the heavens everywhere
When we'd play tag all day long
And we'd sing thoughs silly songs.
When nothing really seemed to matter
And from miles away you could hear the sound of our laughter.
And you promised me
Beneath those old willow trees
That friends forever, we would be
But time went on and things began to change
I no longer see you, but your memory still remains.
I often dream,
Of the way things used to be.
But we can never get back
Everything we once had.
We no longer catch fire flies and place them in a jar
We no longer sing together under the stars.
I close my eyes and long to be in your arms
And though you've moved on and left me here, you're still in my heart.
I miss how you'd chase me up and down the parking lot
And the summers I spent with you amazing and hot.
Sweat dripped down our backs, yet we never came inside
And oh how I wish that you'd come back and again be mine.
I've thought of you everyday since your depart
It's always been you, right from the start.
Everytime I close my eyes I see your sweet face
I don't know how, but you've sewed yourself into my heart with a linen and lace.
And everyday I pray
That where ever you are today,
That you are doing alright
Even though you aren't in sight.
And even if you never love me,
I just ask God, that'd you'd be happy.
And I pray that you'll always remember me.
Because I'll always remember you,
No matter what I say, no matter what I do.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I miss you,
Tell me, dear... Do you miss me too?
