Time Passes On - Orleans

Time passes on like a river that must always run;

Now you are gone but I will have you till time is done

You can never take away

The love you gave me yesterday

And I don’t have to capture you

'cause you’re here in my memory

My life goes on like a song that is never still;

I’ll sing that song to the emptiness I’ll never fill

I don’t need your photograph

To see your face in front of me

We may never touch again

But you’re here in this melody

What once was will always be

And you’ve left your imprint on me

Sometimes I think it’s the spark of conflict

With which we affect most heavily

But I hope if you think of me

You’ll remember only harmony and

Time passes on like a river that must always run;

Now you are gone but I will have you till time is done

You can never take away

The love you gave me yesterday

And I don’t have to capture you

'cause you’re here in my memory
