Half-forgotten memories of a childhood day Nothing seemed to matter much Except which games to play Did I disregard the rule That says when you grow up You shouldn't play the fool Half-forgotten memories of a show somewhere Devil cursed brilliance And we just didn't care And I never can explain How we did all that I'll never be the same And time goes on just the same It doesn't really mind It doesn't know your name Half-forgotten memories of an absent friend Always was so full of life It doesn't make much sense Although he drove us 'round the bend The good outweighed the bad I'm glad you were my friend Half-forgotten memories of a certain kind Life was full of happiness When you were really mine And I never can recall What I did or said It had to end, that's all And time goes on just the same It doesn't really mind It doesn't know your name It goes on just the same Just the same
