Souvenir Paroles

While reading my thoughts start wandering,
in the far reaches of my mind
I discover a box covered in dust and mildew.
I pry open the lid, it?s full of pictures of you.
The exact way that you looked on the day that we met.
You were the first girl I loved, how could I ever forget?
I remember those nights when we stayed up till dawn,
I remember everything.
I remember the way next day you seemed so withdrawn,
I remember everything.
Ten years is a long time
not to see you at all.
Ten years is a god awfully long time,
how I suffered it all.
Now here you stand before me
after all this time.
Long dormant feelings stir in me,
in the far reaches of my mind
there?s a gallery hall where my past is for view.
I push open the door, it?s filled with pictures of you. I remember your smell and your voice all too well
And the way that I made you laugh.
All those moments in time forever etched in my mind
Like looking at photographs.
Time heals all wounds, so they say.
But the pain won?t go away.
I remember the day when you told me goodbye.
Whithered leaves on the ground, thunder clouds in the sky
Tears falling like rain.
I remember the pain.
And I remember the shame.
And I remember calling out your name in vain.
Ten years is a long time to wait for a call.
Ten years is a God-awfully long time.
Still it?s better than hearing nothing at all.
