lyrics

You’ve heard all these songs of lovers.
You’ve heard all these songs of friends.
They will soon be gone forever.
As our time comes to an end.

You’ve heard all these songs of roses.
You’ve heard all these songs of rain.
They couldn’t capture all the passion.
They could never capture all the pain.

But we sang them so many times.
In the bedrooms and in the bars.
We sang about the moonlight.
And we sang about the stars.
I hope you will remember we sang the best we could.
Ain’t it a shame, but we will have the memories.
Among old lovers and old friends.

We tried to write down all our memories.
To remember every day.
But now the melodies have faded.
And the nights have gone away.

We promised to remember.
We thought our world would never end.
Now all we have is silence.
Among old lovers and old friends.

We just had to put them all away.
In a box upon a shelf.
As we raised a glass to each other.
To good fortune and good health.
I hope you will remember we sang the best we could.
Ain’t it a shame, but we will have the memories.
Among old lovers and old friends.
