Verse 1 Behind that empty gaze, hidden in a haze Those soft blue eyes see everything in gray We used to reminisce, and a smile would grace your lips When you’d recall a memory as a kid Those childhood stories made you laugh Just another piece of you that’s buried in the past Chorus Life has a way of turning pages Tradin’ places through the ages Now I'm caring for the one who cared for me The hands that held me all those years Tremble now ‘cause life’s unclear Can’t even tell when the days end or start Oh, you don't have to know who I am 'Cause I know who you are Verse 2 I look into your eyes, just hopin’ I can find A memory that somehow stayed behind Then a spark shines through the blue, and for a moment, I see you And get a glimpse of the mama I once knew Those precious seconds pass too fast Never know if it’s the last, I take a mental photograph Repeat Chorus Life has a way of turning pages Tradin’ places through the ages Now I'm caring for the one who cared for me The hands that held me all those years Tremble now ‘cause life’s unclear Can’t even tell when the days end or start Oh, you don't have to know who I am 'Cause I know who you are Bridge Breaks my heart to see you suffer day after day… Wish I could ease the struggle you face… Final Chorus Life has a way of turning pages Tradin’ places through the ages Now I'm caring for the one who cared for me The hands that held me all those years Tremble now ‘cause life’s unclear Can’t even tell when the days end or start Oh, you don't have to know who I am 'Cause I know who you are Outro No, you don't have to know who I am 'Cause I know who you are…I know who you are…
