Golden mem'ries linger~~~
Childhood's awakenings,
Teen years: we were invincible!
What will our grown years bring?

The ways of our harried lives,
The places we have been,
The people we have loved,
Yes, all that enters in.

The sorrows we have shouldered,
The pain we've had to bear,
Friends taken from our side,
Add a few notes of despair

The music plays discreetly,
behind a hidden door,
Until we learn the meaning~~~
Until we know the score.

Red roses and violin strings
Will, sometimes, take their toll,
Life and Love is what brings
The music in my soul
