"We Still Shine" lyrics

"We Still Shine"

Sometimes I lie and watch you sleeping
When I can't sleep myself
But I don't see someone as old as me
I just see your younger self
I listen to the way you're breathing
A whisper soft and low
Like memories of ghosts returning
From a place I used to know

I'm looking out through the haze of those halcyon days
The memories may fade with the times
But what was there long ago, we never let go
We still shine

So lay your head up on my shoulder, and dream of way back when
We had no thoughts of growing older, we just lived for them
But through more years than I remember, we stood the test of time
I loved you then, and now, we still shine

And now as we grow together
The wind of change is blowing through
It made me proud you could depend on me
Now I depend on you
I may forget the unimportant
And sometimes lose the track of time
But still recall the things that matter
When you put your hand in mine

I'm looking out through the haze of those halcyon days
The memories may fade with the times
But what was there long ago, we never let go
We still shine

So lay your head up on my shoulder, and dream of way back when
We had no thoughts of growing older, we just lived for them
But through more years than I remember, we stood the test of time
I loved you then, and now, we still shine
