Lyrics

You're puzzled, angry, frightened, and now
You don't know my name anymore.
Childhood stories, wartime glory,
Sad for me I've heard them before,
Over and over again.

When memories fly, when memories fly away
Will love slip by, when memories fly away?

They're feeding, bathing, bedding you, and
Keep your pills locked up in a file
Twice their years, you lend deaf ears to
How they talk to you like a child
Over and over again.

When memories fly, when memories fly away
Will love slip by, when memories fly away?

I remember reaching 10 feet high to hold your hand
You taught me how to stand my own ground.
Finally, I've got the chance to do the same for you
But love is playing hide and seek
I know that I can tease it free
If I .... touch your hand.

You're tired, ready, waiting, and our
Eyes meet in a moment of peace
I won't hold you, you can go, and I'll
Re-live your life in my memories
Over and over and over and over again!

When memories fly, when memories fly away
Will life slip by, when memories fly away?
