Years

by Kye Fleming and Dennis Morgan;

changes by Debra Milligan

Faded photographs

The feelings all come back

Even now,

sometimes,

You feel so near.

And I still see your face

like it was yesterday

It’s strange how the days

turned into years.

Years of hanging on

hanging on

to dreams

halfway gone

Years

of wishing

you were

here.

After all this time

so much time

You’d think I wouldn’t cry

But I still love you

after all these

years.

Nighttime gently falls

Another day is gone

I turn around to find

You’re still not here.

I leave the hall light on

in case you come back

home,

I’ve been saying that

for years.

Years of hanging on

to dreams

not fully gone

Years

of wishing you were

here

After all this time

I’m not gonna mind

Cause I still love you

After all these years

Yes, I still love you

After all these years.
