i asked a million questions, you looked so surprised    forgot a million things that i had memorized             yes but i confess, i never dreamed       i had done my best, or so it seemed             [chorus]   take the time to waste a thousand years    touch the face and wipe away the tears          speak the truth and break the heart that bleeds          stab the back and bite the hand that feeds             think of things that made you cry when you were young    realize at last your life has just begun       think of lonely places far away       i'm sorry, but i don't know what to say to you          [chorus]                  close your eyes - remember me from long ago    never say a word - no one will ever know    think of life the way it was before          imagine what the future has in store for you             [chorus]
