As each new day goes marching by
I firmly hug the past
Holding fast to what once was
I want what I can't have
Memories play behind my eyes
A waltz of bygone eras
Tempting me with sunlit picnics
And nights awaiting Santa
I wish to live within my mind
To forget again the world
To leave the nightmares in my wake
And let the elapsed unfurl
To take no anguish from the living
And walk among the dead
To take the hand, dance with memories
That play inside my head...
