i used to have a photo of the first girl I dated...she was wearing leathers and was leaning against a motorcycle

Song Description

memories

Lyrics

verse 1

hid behind the souvenirs
of a lifetime that has past
while hair that once was dark has turned to gray
there's a locket & a calendar
& a faded photograph
that never get to see the light of day

chorus

this way you'll al-ways re-main
just as you were for-ev-er free
sun in your eyes & wind in your hair
for-ev- er free (for-ev-er free)
with the sun in your eyes & wind in your hair
for-ev- er for-ev-er free

verse 2

time has been your enemy
it steals your life away
& leads you on a path of no return
there's a vincent & a dark-haired girl
it seems just like yesterday
(while) the flame of love you felt for her still burns

chorus

this way you'll al-ways re-main
just as you were for-ev-er free
sun in your eyes & wind in your hair
for-ev- er free (for-ev-er free)
with the sun in your eyes & wind in your hair
for-ev- er for-ev-er free

verse 3

after forty years of changing roles
searching for something that you can't find
your way of life has made you what you are
now there's a bottle & an empty glass
& the life you left behind
& now the choices that you made have left their scars
