Verse I:

It feels just like yesterday

When an artist came and repainted

My lifeless walls of grey

With all these graceful colors

On a ride I wish that did not end

It seemed cloud nine was in our hand

A time when nothing stood in our way

It still feels just like yesterday

Bridge:

Tell me, why you chose to

Leave me, why you had to

Hit me, right here where it

Hurts me, love why did you go?

Chorus:

On and on the time will fly

But our tide will not be turning

As the years keep passing by

It can't keep my flame from burning

Verse II:

The sky has cleared,

Only to reveal the final dead of night

I'm falling deeper and deeper,

Until I hit the ground, I lose this fight

Where's the blue in your once-shining eyes?

The stare is void, you are dead inside

I'm losing you

just as I hit the ground and lose this fight

Lead: Schafberger

Bridge:

Tell me, why you chose to

Leave me, why you had to

Hit me, right here where it

Hurts me, love why did you go?

Chorus:

On and on the time will fly

But our tide will not be turning

As the years keep passing by

It can't keep my flame from burning
