I found a picture in my drawer from yesteryear
So young and full of hope and joy
It all seemed clear
I can remember like yesterday
Our whole lives ahead of us
Nothing stood in our way
But through the looking glass
It seems time has not been kind
All the lines on my face
Tell the story of my life
I've got so many regrets
But I can't turn back the time
For we are all just footsteps in the sand
I had a call from Tony that Eddy passed
It seems like every other week
We're at half mast
I try to look away
But I'm drawn to the past
Missed opportunities
Chastise though they're not asked
Tried my best to be an optimist
But I'm left feeling aghast
I wish I was still young enough
To leave this barren land
I feel like I've been cheated
To be dealt this cruel hand
For we are all just footsteps in the sand
Do you remember when we so were wild and free
Not a problem for a thousand miles
We couldn't wait a moment to grow up and be
Our own men and women
Little did we know what we would see
I found a picture in my drawer from yesteryear
So young and full of hope and joy
It all seemed clear
I can remember like yesterday
Our whole lives ahead of us
Nothing stood in our way
