Calendar

Flying in circles around
To bring back the dreams
When we once were young
And brave

You say you're sorry you've grown up
I hear condolences from time
But there's nothing to apologize
And the ticktocks aren't a crime

And if I'm feeling down
I'd throw away that frown
And turn the page around
My calendar

Those were the sunny days
And those were the starry nights
We had our laughs and our fights
And moments of dark and delight

They build a brand new page
Tiny scrapbooks of our hearts
Inserting memory by memory (those were the days...)
Albums thicken each page
Pictures fade as they age
But I still know your name

And yes, you'll feel alone
Why do we cry for those years
They're full of laughs but all your tears
Will steal the show

No use in pondering the many years ago
They'll clog up your memories but the hours will still flow
Make your day
Turn the page

And if I'm feeling down
I'd throw away that frown
And turn the page around
My calendar

And pass a year or so
You'll see a face you know
I've come around once more
To say hello
