Windchimes in the garden, shells from Mexico
Sunlight on the grass, that only wants to grow
All the letters we have traded, tapes are like photographs
They memorize our music, immortalize a laugh
I have boxes filled with these, all the scattered memories
The random bits and pieces, a quilt to keep me warm
Emotional releases, the faces have all gone, the beauty lingers on
Afternoon dreaming and songs for my friends
The lilacs are shaking in the wind
Loveliness upon us, there are times we can be kind
Gardens grow and flowers, and summer nights are fine
Well I never think of tomorrow, all is perfect in the past
Things we've worked so hard for are worth it all at last
Everything seems touched with light, crowding out the empty night
The random bits and pieces, a quilt to keep me warm
Emotional releases, the faces have all gone, the beauty lingers on
Afternoon dreaming and songs for my friends
The lilacs are shaking in the wind
