Old photographs spread on the table
Faces from another time
First love smiling in the corner
Back when everything was fine

There's a picture with my best friend
Haven't seen them in some years
We were sure we'd last forever
Now I smile through grateful tears

Some memories fade
Some never go away

Through the years
I have laughed, I have cried
I have loved with all I had
And left pieces of me behind
Every voice I still can hear
Every face that disappeared
I carry all of it here
Through the years

There's the dog out in the backyard
With the grey around his eyes
I still feel the way he loved me
Long after the goodbye

There were loves that made me softer
There were goodbyes I outgrew
Some still live inside me quietly
Like a room I wander through

Time let's go
But the heart still knows

Through the years
I have laughed, I have cried
I have loved with all I had
And left pieces of me behind
Every voice I still can hear
Every face that disappeared
I carry all of it here
Through the years
