Years Go By

[Verse 1] I remember the days in the summer sun, We were young and wild, just havin' fun, You were my first love, under the moonlight, We'd stay up talkin' till the morning light. [Pre-Chorus] Every laugh, every tear, it feels like yesterday, How we danced, how we dreamed, in our own special way, Though the years have gone by, I still see your face, In the echoes of time, in that perfect place. [Chorus] Years go by, but the memories stay, First love never fades away, We were young, we were free, And you meant the world to me, Years go by, but I still remember, The warmth of our first September. [Verse 2] In the autumn breeze, with the leaves that fall, We carved our names on the old brick wall, Time stood still when you were in my arms, Safe and sound from the world's alarms. [Pre-Chorus] Every smile, every kiss, it feels like yesterday, How we laughed, how we cried, in our own little way, Though the seasons have changed, your memory remains, In the heart of my soul, in the whispers of rain. [Chorus] Years go by, but the memories stay, First love never fades away, We were young, we were free, And you meant the world to me, Years go by, but I still remember, The warmth of our first September. [Bridge] Now and then, I see your face, In a crowd, or a familiar place, I wonder if you think of me too, Of the love we shared, so pure and true. [Verse 3] Life moved on, we went separate ways, But I cherish the nights and the sunny days, When you were mine, and I was yours, In the story of love, we opened the doors. [Marimba solo] [Chorus] Years go by, but the memories stay, First love never fades away, We were young, we were free, And you meant the world to me, Years go by, but I still remember, The warmth of our first September. [Outro] Years go by, but I still feel the same, First love's fire is an endless flame, Though we're miles apart, you're still in my heart, Forever young, where it all did start.
