I remember a time [01:39]
My frail, virgin mind
Watched the crimson sunrise
Imagined what it might find
Life was filled with wonder
I felt the warm wind blow
I must explore the boundaries
Transcend the depth of winter's snow
Innocence caressing me
I never felt so young before
There was so much life to see
Yet I knew there must be more
But those days are gone now [02:35]
Changed like a leaf on a tree
Blown away forever
Into the cool autumn breeze
The snow has now fallen
And I know where I stand
All of my childhood memories
Left lying in the sand
In my den of inequity [03:16]
Viciousness and delicacy
Struggled to find the sane
Struggled to ease the pain
Ignorance surrounding me
I've never been so filled with fear
Now I know that there is more
The warmth is gone
But the chill forever here
"Do you know what carpe diem is? [04:03]
Seize the day." [Sample is Steve Martin ]
[from the film "Roxanne".]
I'll always remember
The chill of November
The news of the fall
The sounds in the hall
The clock on the wall, ticking away
'Seize the day'
I heard him say
Life will not always be this way.
Look around, hear the sounds
Another time like this can't be found.
"Life's too short to dwell [04:55]
on our tragedies." [Samples from ???]
"What's the use of looking back?
What's the use of looking ahead?
Today's the fact."
We can learn from the past
But those days are gone
We can hope for a future
But there may not be one
The words stuck in my mind [05:21]
The lesson once well learned
I have to seize the day
To home I returned
Preparing for her flight [05:40]
I held with all my might
Fearing my deepest fright
She walked into the night
She turned for one last look
She looked me in the eye
I said, 'I love you... Good-bye.'
Please don't go [06:16]
[Instrumental Section]
So far so few between [08:43]
My eyes filled full
With desire fulfilled
All my dreams came true
All the world,
And all of you
Everyday there's a constant reminder
Of all the pleasures we shared together
Love is not just a passing word
It's a state of heart that goes on forever
I stood outside in the rain for us [09:30]
I tried to work out all the pain for us
I sat alone and took the blame for us
My mind is torn and gone insane for us
Innocent sinner [09:54]
Repeat offender
Promiscuous promiser
A faith lender
Indecisive decisions
Causing heartless divisions
Shattering all my visions of love
All the world, I give to you [11:05]
All of the world,
All the world, I give to you
All of the world
Please don't go

"Children of yesterday, [13:46]
Heirs of tomorrow, [Sample is Rod Serling reading the ]
What are you weaving? [poem "A Song of Hope" by Mary A. ]
Labor and sorrow? [Lathburg during the episode of The]
Look to your loom again, [Twilight Zone, entitled, "No Time ]
Faster and faster [Like The Past". ]
Fly the great shuttles
Prepared by the Master."
I'm much wiser now [14:46]
A lifetime of memories
Run through my head
Memories they taught me
For better for worse, alive or dead
Well I realize, there's no turning back
Life goes on the offbeaten track
I sit down with my son [15:25]
Set to see the crimson sunset
He's my only one
Now that my time has come
Now that my day is done
Looking into the sun he said
'Don't go, don't go,
please don't go, don't go, now.
Don't go.'
"For the first time in a long time, [16:17]
I feel at peace."
