When Life Turns Gray
When Life Turns Gray
Remember when we laughed all day
the beach was full of sun
the warmth upon our faces
when all we knew was fun
Remember when we lived the moments
and life was void of fear
we danced a tune of freedom
that only we could hear
Remember when we traveled abroad
when limits didn't exist
a fresh new adventure awaited us
with ignorance and bliss
Remember when you moved away
yet somehow we survived
a phone call kept us busy
and let us feel revived
Remember when your thoughts turned gray
yet subtle it seemed at first
a saddness in your eyes appeared
for a never ending thirst
Remember when we discovered you
your secrets could hide no more
the world grew dark and dim that day
as your richness turned to poor
Remember when we shouted
but in the end I cried
because I could not help you
and eventually... you died
