Past lives come and go
People and moments slip away
Sometimes new ideas and hope sink below

As time marches on and trudges through the snow
The ones that really matter stay
Past lives come and go

Things get lost and slip away in the flow
Things you love seem to fade away
Sometimes new ideas and hope sink below

Life is shaped by you like a dough
Characters entering and leaving always
Like a screenplay
Past lives come and go

Sometimes you want to put up your hands and just yell “STOP!” as the time continues to flow
Someone slips away from you who’s been with you all the way
Sometimes new ideas and hope sink below

As life’s chapters progress and go by, everything will come and go
Things will slip away by each birthday
Past lives come and go
Don’t let hope and new ideas sink below
