Gone Forever

They were the only really happy days

When I used to laugh a lot

But you never saw the sadness in my eyes

When we came to part

I should have took your hand

And wished you luck

And swore we always would be friends

But somehow I knew

Deep down inside my heart

That we would never meet again

 

Now the faces that I know

Like shadows come and go

And promises still flow like the river

Though life goes on and on

And another day will dawn

What we had is gone forever

 

Now I don't try to find a reason for it all

I know I'll never understand

It's no surprise that when

You hold on to a dream

That it should slip right through your hands

So I don't let them any closer than a smile

Or more familiar than a name

I can't allow myself to feel that way again

It would never be the same

 

Now the faces that I know

Like shadows come and go

And promises still flow like the river

Though life goes on and on

And another day will dawn

What we had is gone forever
