Lyrics

Songs we remember
Letters we wrote
Memories from a time so remote
Coffee and crackers
Same old routine
Jimmy Stewart tonight on the screen

Yesterday’s future
Gone with the wind
Can’t help thinking ‘bout what might have been
Nothing to strive for
Now we’re all done
All the dreams we once had are long gone

Years all went by too fast
Good times that wouldn't last
The only thing left to do for me and you
Is holding on to the past

Holding on to the past
In a prime-time review
Of everything we’ve been through - me and you
Memories that will last
Children keep busy
Lives of their own
Harvesting the seeds that we’ve sown
E-mails and smart phones
Downloads and ringtones
They keep talking ‘bout stuff we don’t know

Years all went by too fast
Good times that wouldn't last
The only thing left to do for me and you
Is holding on to the past

Holding on to the past
In a prime-time review
Of everything we’ve been through me and you
Memories that will last

Rocking chair hour
One more sunrise
Every new day’s a pleasant surprise
No conversation
No one to call
No more messages to write on the wall


Years all went by too fast
Good times that wouldn't last
The only thing left to do for me and you
Is holding on to the past
Holding on to the past
In a prime-time review
Of everything we’ve been through - me and you
Memories that will last
