Dreaming of Silver Roses

I was looking through old photos
Trying to put together
Who I am from the pieces of who I was

Hair styles and clothing
Places and faces
Changed before my eyes in a rush

Nothing stays the same
Some things are forgotten
Some childhood fantasies are lost

Time marches forward
Some things stay remembered
You can’t forget when paying such a cost

There are some lovely mementos
There are some frozen moments
Priceless and fragile like snowflakes

There were faces I remembered
Dearer than my heartbeat
To miss those smiles is such a great heartache

I was looking through old photos
Trying to remember
All who made me who I am today

And I couldn’t help but wonder
And pray that when you remember
That I bring a smile to your face

Part of who I am is due to you
Part of who I am is due to all that we’ve been through
Part of who I am and where I stand
I remembered from the photograph of you in my hand.
