Dust of Yesterday Bright

Lyrics

Tracing outlines in the dust of yesterday Every picture has so much it wants to say We were younger, chasing sparks into the night Didn't know that we were holding something bright Now the seasons shift and landscapes start to fade But I'm counting every promise that we made Some things are too heavy just to leave behind Precious treasures that are harder now to find And I could try to let it go, let it all just slip away But there's a voice inside that's telling me to stay Yeah, there are parts of us that time can never touch And I am realizing now, I still care too much Some things are too meaningful to let 'em go! Too beautiful to leave them in the undertow We can change and grow, the world might turn to gray But I'm holding on to what we have today You became a part of who I am inside! A little piece of magic that I will not hide No, not everything has got to fade away Some things are meant to stay I see your smile in every stranger on the street And every melody we loved still sounds so sweet It's not about the past, it's what we carry on The light that guides us even after you are gone They say that letting go is how you finally grow But there are some things that I simply will not throw You carved your name into the fabric of my soul And that's the only thing that makes me feel so whole Some things are too meaningful to let 'em go! Too beautiful to leave them in the undertow We can change and grow, the world might turn to gray But I'm holding on to what we have today You became a part of who I am inside! A little piece of magic that I will not hide No, not everything has got to fade away Some things are meant to stay And if the world forgets, well, that's okay with me I'll be the keeper of this sacred memory It made me stronger, made me who I am today And no one ever gets to take that all away Some things are too meaningful to let 'em go! Too beautiful to leave them in the undertow We can change and grow, the world might turn to gray But I'm holding on to what we have today You became a part of who I am inside! A little piece of magic that I will not hide No, not everything has got to fade away Some things are meant to stay Some things are meant to stay... Part of who I am. Always.
