Wrote it for my first child. A lot of people seem to relate to it on that level as well so it must come through on some level.

Really it's about the transitory nature of things.
How fleeting our time with our loved ones really is.

Lyrics
Pictures
never did you justice
they can't capture
the color fades
I can't hold on
to what's between us
and these pictures are all I'll have someday
cause everytime I look at you
in my heart I know
These are the days
this is the time
when for the briefest moment
I can call you mine
These are the days
they wont last long
someday we'll turn around
and they will all be gone
Words
become regrets
when they're left unsaid
and the years go by
Years
make you forget
what you meant to say
before you said goodbyre
cause if there's one thing
I have learned
it's that all things come and go
These are the days
this is the time
when for the briefest moment
I can call you mine
These are the days
they won't last long
someday we'll turn around
and they will all be gone
Moments
such as these
will one day be
just memories
Please
don't forget
everything
you've meant to me
These are the days
this is the time
when for the briefest moment
I can call you mine
These are the days
they won't last long
someday we'll turn around
and they will all be gone
