The clock ticks slow the room feels small
Faded pictures line the wall
Laughter echoes soft and low
Like a song from long ago
Time won’t wait it steals the light
Leaves me here with memories bright
Every smile every tear
Whispers still so loud and clear
Oh the pages of yesterday
Turn so gently fade away
But in my heart they’ll always stay
Like the sun on a golden day
Footsteps down an empty hall
Shadows dance upon the wall
Voices hum a sweet refrain
Calling me back home again
Time won’t wait it steals the light
Leaves me here with memories bright
Every smile every tear
Whispers still so loud and clear
Oh the pages of yesterday
Turn so gently fade away
But in my heart they’ll always stay
Like the sun on a golden day
If I could hold just one more hour
Feel the past in all its power
I’d wrap it close and never say
Goodbye to love that slipped away
Oh the pages of yesterday
Turn so gently fade away
But in my heart they’ll always stay
Like the sun on a golden day
So I’ll keep them safe and near
Every joy every fear
For though the years may drift and sway
I’ll live inside those yesterdays
