Future Memories

Kina Grannis

Compositor: Kina Grannis

Time and the arrow beckon me
Hiding in the pages listening
And the stories all grow tired, tired, tired

So we photograph the way we felt
And we cling when it starts fading
Still we know that we hold everything

You and the roses dance around
We're in the garden smiling
I didn't notice how much love I've known
The setting Sun will pause for no one

Future memories often lie
Inside of all the hope, inside the light
So we follow every star and pray in time

You and the roses dance around
We're in the garden laughing
I didn't notice how much you had grown
The setting Sun will pause for no one

We watch the leaves unfolding quietly
No tugging at the time or way of things
And we mirror both the growth and withering

You and the roses dance around
He's in the garden crying
I didn't notice yet that I had gone
The setting Sun will pause for no one
