If the Past Could Last
if the past could last
we would not need a camera
we would not need to
take note's
if the past could last
we would not need hugs
to show we care
we would not argue and fight
and insist we are always right,
if the past could last
we would not need to remember
people names
everything would just stay
the same
oh
if the past could last
our baby's and teenagers
would not have to worry
about there future
there faces would look young
and they would not
grow up and be killed by guns
if the past could last
we may not have sickness
or pain the world
and when we get our first
and only kiss we would be thrilled,
if the past could last
we would not need nursing homes
each of us our hair would not
fall out
we would not become stiff and just
keep walking all about,
if the past could last
God would stay in our heart
if you believe from the very start
everyone would love
no matter what color your sin
says the one above,
if only the past could last.,,,,,,,,,
