Why can't I keep those lovely feelings of the past Why can't I keep those feelings Time, you make me travel always And won't give me back those days That I had loved before I'm knocking on your door I'm pleading on the shore Days I'm weary And there's some days I feel strong There's days I'm feeling maybe Do I still belong You stole all my childhood then Took my boyhood now Take my manhood Why can't I keep those lovely feelings of the past Why can't I keep those feelings Time, don't take me while I'm sleeping Don't carry me out weeping 'Cause I'm afraid to go I'm knocking on your door To leave me on the shore Days I'm weary And there's some days I feel strong There's days I'm feeling maybe Do I still belong You stole all my childhood then Took my boyhood now Take my manhood Why can't I keep those lovely feelings of the past Why can't I keep those lovely feelings in a chest The time has come When I won't weep I've wasted time And I've wasted sleep The time will go Not mine to keep But I'll hold on till reach my peak But where's my life gone now Where's my time gone now Why can't I keep those lovely feelings of the past Why can't I keep those feelings Time
