Time moves on,
And things don't last,
Everything we know and love,
Will at some point pass

(And fade away...
And...fade away...)

Time moves on,
We learn, we grow,
And everything that we learn,
Changes how the memories flow

(And they fade away...
They fade away...)

Memories fade,
People change,
And the older we grow,
The more the memories fade

(They fade away...
They fade...)

Life goes on,
We wound, we heal,
And we strain to hold on to the memories,
That time wants to steal

(Steal them away...
Steal...them away...)

Life goes on,
We bend, we break,
And sometimes it's only the memories,
That really keep us sane

(They...keep us sane...
Keep us sane...)

Memories fade,
People change,
And the older we grow,
The more the memories fade

Just like colors exposed to the sun,
Memories fade for everyone,
No-one is immune
Memories fade...
And they change...
There is nothing we can do...

(No...nothing we can do...)

Memories fade,
People change,
And the older we grow,
The more the memories fade
They don't last,
No matter what we say,
Colors fade to black and white,
Black and white fade to gray

Hold on to the memories,
Enjoy them before they fade

(They fade...
They fade to gray...)

The theme is "memory fading", suggested by =TheLeavesOfMemory.

And it is sadly true, no matter how good your mind and memory, how you see those memories changes over time, becomes less clear, until they are all but gone.

Memories, like all things, fade.

We're only human. Sad but true. We say, I'll never forget you. But in the end, we all do. And i'm sorry to the friend I lost all those years ago because of my silly mistake. And i'm sorry to the girl that i'll never see again. I wish things had turned out differently.
