Verse 1:
Look to the moon,
And think of a tune;
A melody from a childhood past.
As years pull by,
You'll wonder why,
Those notes, once crystal clear,
Now fade away so fast.
Chorus:
Memories can't escape
Your coming of age.
Though you try to stop it,
You're not the only thing to change.
Verse 2:
Stare into space,
And recall a face;
A smiling expression from some time ago.
As years pull past,
You'll ask your heart;
'Where, oh where, did that once familiar picture go?'
Verse 3:
Turn towards the air,
(And) remember an affair;
An unbridled passion from a time far gone.
Then, pretty soon,
It'll dawn on you,
That nothing ever stays one way for long.
