Two days used to seem so far away
Now a year passes by in a blink of an eye
And old age is slowly creeping up on me
Responsibilities making time move faster
I know

I will be gone one day
But you'll have a picture and a storybook in your mind
Of me, so smile

We'd lay between the pine trees
Beside the fire on a summer's night
Unknowingly making memories
To keep us warm when our hearts aren't bright
And when I'm on my way out
Please take some comfort in knowing
That you've got the thoughts of the good old days
They're there to keep you going

And I will be gone one day
But you'll have a picture
And a storybook in your mind
Of me, so smile

Never stop making memories
Live life, don't just exist
Never stop making memories
Live life, don't just exist
'Cause everyday can be a good old day

Yeah I will be gone one day
But you'll have a picture
And a storybook in your mind
Of me, so smile
