Memories of you
philip lacey 1956 (United Kingdom)
As the daylight breaks brings another day
Waking to reality my thoughts begin to stray
I find myself in distant lands in a market place
From a building comes a girl I recognise her face
She pauses for a moment to watch some children play
Leaving with a kindly smile she carries on her way
A church bell rings for morning mass as birds take off in flight
High up in a clear blue sky the sun is shining bright
Traveling the course of my life
With memories of pleasure and pain
Recalling those moments in time
Again and again and again
As the years drift by situations change
Ideals I once held high I’ve had to rearrange
Like a river flowing down from mountains to the sea
The times we shared together then come rushing back to me
Traveling the course of my life
With memories of pleasure and pain
Recalling those moments in time
Again and again and again
