I didn't know much, but I still sat there.
Hands in your lap with the wind blowing fair.
Something between you and I had a hook,
These days I don't care much to look.
Don't let the best of you fall out of place.
Your memory grows like the stars fill in space.
Promise me nothing, I don't wanna waste
The moments that have gone away.
(break)
Sing to me happy I don't need to hear
Anything less than the things you hold dear.
I don't expect you to listen to me,
Just want you to follow your dreams.
