Now And Then The past time so familiar But that's why you couldn't stay Too many ghosts, too many haunted dreams Beside you were built to find your own way... But after all these years, I thought we'd still hold on But when I reach for you and search your eyes I see you've already gone... That's OK. I'll be fine I've got myself, I'll heal in time But when you leave just remember what we had... There's more to life than just you I may cry but I'll make it through And I know that the sun will shine again Though I may think of you now and then... Can't do a thing with ashes But throw them to the wind... Though this heart may be in pieces now You know I'll build it up again and I'll come back stronger than I ever did before Just don't turn around when you walk out that door... That's OK. I'll be fine I've got myself, I'll heal in time But when you leave just remember what we had... Coz there's more to life than just you I may cry but I'll make it through And I know that the sun will shine again Though I may think of you now and then... That's OK. I'll be fine I've got myself, I'll heal in time And even though our stories at the end I still may think of you now and then...
