The Past Bookends
Embracing Tomorrow: A Musical Journey Through Life's Ups and Downs
Lyrics
The holidays have come and gone
The holiday season has passed.
And left you feeling more alone
After the holidays, you're left feeling lonely.
You'll need someone to lean upon
You need support from someone.
Don't search too long...
Don't search for support for too long.
You have a face that shows the years
Your face reflects the passage of time.
We can't erase those lines, but still
We can't erase the signs of aging.
No need to dredge up all those tears
No need to dwell on past sorrows.
To make what's old brand new, again
To rejuvenate the old, don't dwell on tears.
The pain will come and go
Pain comes and goes.
And pass you on to more
It will lead you to new experiences.
But it's harder than you know, to hide in the cold dark spaces
Hiding in dark times is challenging.
And there's so much more than this
There's more to life than current struggles.
Imagine what you'll miss
Anticipate what you might miss in life.
So let's keep the past bookends on the shelf and live life again
Keep memories of the past but live for the present.
When everything has come unglued
When everything is falling apart.
You second guess each thing you do
Doubting decisions in difficult times.
You need to know I'll see you through
Assurance that support will be there.
I'm always your bag for punching
Metaphorically, someone willing to absorb emotional punches.
And every day brings back the sun
Each new day brings hope and positivity.
You've never lost what's yet to come
Your future is yet to unfold.
Your brightest moment's just begun
Your best moments are ahead.
And outside, the world is waiting
The world outside is full of opportunities.
The pain will come and go
Pain is transient, leading to growth.
And pass you on to more
It guides you towards new experiences.
But it's harder than you know, to hide in the cold dark spaces
Hiding in difficult times is challenging.
And there's so much more than this
Life offers more than current challenges.
Imagine what you'll miss
Anticipate the richness of life.
So let's keep the past bookends on the shelf and live life again
Keep memories of the past but embrace the present.
