A song Written from the point of view
of my younger self
 
VERSE1
How soon we forget -All the things have been said
Its so hard to survive -Just to stay alive
How hard [man/we] must try -To know the reason why
Seeing all of his fears -Passing through the years
 
CHORUS
How soon we forget -All the time we have spent
Learning all of the rules -How soon we forget
 
VERSE2
I remember the day -
(Such a long time ago)
Seems so easy to say -
(Remember it so well)
Had so many good times -
(Laughing every day)
And didnt know at the time -
(Never had it so good)
 
(INSTRUMENTAL)
 
(Instrumental -1979 & 2015 Versions Only)
 
VERSE3
Can you see the light -
(Do you know what to say)
By the end of the day -
(When the time is right)
Walkin down that road -
(Living day to day)
Its hard to find a way -
(Feeling lonely at night)
 
[Middle Verse -2015 Version Only]
 
MIDDLE
Its funny how I never thought that -This would happen to you
Im so grateful you taught me -All the golden rules
But now I must try to remember -Everything that you said
Cause I just took for granted -Youd be here instead
 
(CHORUS)
