Lyrics
In my old room, I wouldn't fit in my old bed.
And my old dreams wouldn't fit in my new head.
I went and bought some new clocks to think of my old times.
I went and found some old words to use for my new rhymes.
Time is how you spend it. Time is who you're with.
And even though they'll tell you this the present's not a gift.
The gift is just the memory you spend forever in.
The best of all the best of times...when you're gone that's where you'll live.
If forever is a memory, that'd be alright, because I have memories of you that are the best times of my life.
If memories are all we take...if that's really true...
I think I'd like to spend it all in a memory of you.
