Walter Egan
Ten Years Ago
Remember when
We were new and time
Was our friend
Our pleasure knew no end
But somehow then
As we grew the years like a haze
Occlude the younger days

But when you look at me that way
All of the years just fall and fade
It could be yesterday

Doesn't it feel like ten years ago?
Being together all alone
Seeing ourselves as we did then
Falling in love all over again

Its funny time brings us treasure
Time leaves us pain
No sunshine without rain
Somewhere our plans stand abandoned
Stillborn in time
And dreams get left behind

But like a scene from yesterday
In a revival here today
Playing the parts that we once played
