Cracks in pavement tell our tale
Sidewalk secrets growing pale
You and I in simpler times
Laughter tucked in nursery rhymes
Window shops still hold our gaze
Frozen there in sunlit haze
Traffic lights and corner bends
Remind me where the dream won’t end
That’s the way we were, you see
Unwritten lines in memory
Even when the curtain falls
Your echo dances in the halls
Faint as dust in morning beams
You still live in all my dreams
Time moves on, but not for me
Where you stayed, I still can’t leave
Chilly wind through branches bare
Still I feel your fingers there
Even if we’ve said goodbye
The past still breathes, I can’t deny
Photographs in sepia tones
Whisper things I should’ve known
Even now I feel your trace
In every shadowed, silent place
All the days we left behind
Still unfold within my mind
Though they’ve aged and rearranged
Their meaning hasn’t really changed
That’s the way we were, you see
Unwritten lines in memory
Even when the curtain falls
Your echo dances in the halls
Not a word, not one reply
Just the way you used to sigh
You’re the line I still rehearse
The missing rhyme in every verse
No regrets and no disguise
Just reflections in your eyes
What we had was never wrong
It lingers like a half-sung song
Even if the notes don’t play
You’re the chord I hear each day
That’s the way we were, you see
Unwritten lines in memory
Even when the curtain falls
Your echo dances in the halls
And when seasons drift apart
You remain within my heart
Though the world forgets our tune
I’ll still hum it under moon
Sidewalk secrets growing pale
You and I in simpler times
Laughter tucked in nursery rhymes
Window shops still hold our gaze
Frozen there in sunlit haze
Traffic lights and corner bends
Remind me where the dream won’t end
That’s the way we were, you see
Unwritten lines in memory
Even when the curtain falls
Your echo dances in the halls
Faint as dust in morning beams
You still live in all my dreams
Time moves on, but not for me
Where you stayed, I still can’t leave
Chilly wind through branches bare
Still I feel your fingers there
Even if we’ve said goodbye
The past still breathes, I can’t deny
Photographs in sepia tones
Whisper things I should’ve known
Even now I feel your trace
In every shadowed, silent place
All the days we left behind
Still unfold within my mind
Though they’ve aged and rearranged
Their meaning hasn’t really changed
That’s the way we were, you see
Unwritten lines in memory
Even when the curtain falls
Your echo dances in the halls
Not a word, not one reply
Just the way you used to sigh
You’re the line I still rehearse
The missing rhyme in every verse
No regrets and no disguise
Just reflections in your eyes
What we had was never wrong

Though the world forgets our tune
I’ll still hum it under moon
