Lyrics
Here's to the twilight Here's to the memories These are my souvenirs My mental pictures of everything Here's to the late nights Here's to the firelight These are my souvenirs My souvenirs I close my eyes and go back in time I can see you smiling, you're so alive We were so young, we had no fear We were so young, we had no idea That life was just happening Life was just happening Here's to your bright eyes Shining like fireflies These are my souvenirs The memory of a lifetime We were wide-eyed with everything Everything around us We were enlightened by everything Everything So I close my eyes and go back in time I can see you smiling, you're so alive I close my eyes and go back in time You were just a child then, and so was I We were so young, we had no fear We were so young, we had no idea That nothing lasts forever Nothing lasts forever Nothing lasts Nothing lasts You and me together We're always now or never Can you hear me? Can you hear me? I close my eyes and go back in time I can see you smiling, you're so alive I close my eyes and go back in time You were wide-eyed, you were wide-eyed We were so young, we had no fear We were so young, we had just begun A song we knew, but we never sang It burned like fire inside our lungs And life was just happening (Nothing lasts, nothing lasts forever) And life was just happening (Nothing lasts, nothing lasts forever) I wouldn't trade it for anything My souvenirs
