The Years Go By Songtext
von Chubb+Bits

Old photographs on the windowsill
A younger me with a heart so full
Little hands in summer sun
All those days I thought would never be done

How did we get here so fast
Why does the beautiful never last
I′m searching the faces from back then
Wishing I could live those days again

The years go by and I watch them fly
Like leaves on a wind through an open sky
The years go by but the love stays strong
Carrying all of us right along
I'd give anything to go back there
To feel the sun and breathe that air
But all I have are the memories and the photographs
Of the years gone by


You′re laughing now in a bigger world
My little boy, my little girl
I see your faces in the ones before
In every photo from every door

How quickly children become the ones
Who don't need carrying anymore
I find myself watching you walk ahead
Grateful for everything, wanting more

The years go by and I watch them fly
Like leaves on a wind through an open sky
The years go by but the love stays strong
Carrying all of us right along
I'd give anything to go back there
To feel the sun and breathe that air
But all I have are the memories and the photographs
Of the years gone by

I wouldn′t trade a single moment
Even the hard ones made us who we are
The years have been the greatest gift
From right here underneath this heart


The years go by
But love never does
The years go by
The years go by
