I listen to the music 
as words rattle in my head
The memories of youth and love and following dreams 
to find just where they led.

I recall all the sweetness 
of days and nights gone by
shaping chapter and verse of life's episodes
never doubting or asking why

The warm days never too long
the cool nights always too brief
I wish these images could be relived from the start
to never face heartbreak or grief

As always the music ends
like youth when responsibilities start
Forever I'll cherish these grand memories
of a faraway place in my heart.
