lyrics

Time and time again I stop
And look back down that road
Wishing I could go back there again
And do it right
Try to shine some light upon it
But you just can’t go back
Where you’ve been
And you just can’t sing
Those songs again

Somebody said that long ago
But I never realized
That all those memories must go
Back into the past
Where they belong
Cause you just can’t sing
Those old songs

They say that all good friends must part
But who knows what the future brings
Days will come and days must go
It’s part of the scheme of things
But trying to hang on
To this picture of you
And this song in my head
Will never bring things back the same
The song is over and now you’re gone
And I just can’t sing those love songs

Somebody told me long ago
But I never realized
That all those memories must go
Back into the past
Where they belong
Cause you just can’t sing
Those old songs
You just can’t sing
Those love songs
