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
