Lyrics:

I remember
When I was little boy
Mother used to say these words to me
“Time is fleeting,
Fleeting fast before your eyes”
Don’t forget a moment of any size

These words they echo through me
Committing my recall
Her memory is fading back behind a wall

Growing older
Is a scary thought you know
Seeing people die and watching others grow
Time is endless
Or at least when you’re a child
Running through the endless grass so tall and green and wild

I see and fading figure
Committing my recall
I whisper to her gently please don’t go just

Hold on to your memory
Like it is the last time you’ll remember to
Look at me just for a moment
Capture with your eyes this very face of mine
Cus when you’re gone
You will live on
Deep in my heart
You will belong
As long as I will remember you

You went dancing
Dancing out beneath the stars
Then you saw him standing in the dark
He was your love
Husband and a father too
Dedicated to both me and you

This image passes through me
Committing my recall
I whisper to her gently please don’t go just

Hold on to your memory
Like it is the last time you’ll remember to
Look at me just for a moment
Capture with your eyes this very face of mine
Cus when you’re gone
You will live on
Deep in my heart
You will belong
As long as I will remember you
I will remember you
