You were not a waste of time
I refuse to believe it
And I have no regrets this time
So honey don’t feel cheated

If all the stars had been aligned
And the psychic had her two thumbs up
There was still a chance we knew
That life could still get so screwed up

But I think it would be alright
If we choose to remember
Only the good

And I have held a place aside
Where I can go to think myself of
Only the good

Sirens, smoke and shattered lives
And thousands lost and widowed wives
The beauty of that day stood idly by

A child tells us what they see
They said New York lost its two front teeth
And though a knife went through my heart
I had to smile
I wish that day that I had been
A hero like the firemen
But heroes never call themselves by name

So I think it would be alright
If we choose to remember
Only the good

And I have held a place aside
Where I can go to dream at night of
Only the good

I know you will shine on
In our minds
Baby you will shine on

And I think it would be alright
If we choose to remember
Only the good

And I have held a place aside
Where I can go to dream at night of
Only the good
