[Intro] [Verse] I open up my eyes and walk through time, The precious moments living in my soul; I keep the echoes, faithful through the years, Of dearest love that made my spirit whole. It came to life in such a wondrous way, In loving arms where every dream was born; Kiss after kiss it learned its ABCs, Strike after strike, its faith was slowly torn. [Chorus] Everything comes back to the heart, Every single passing day; Everything comes back to the heart, But the joy has slipped away. Memories keep holding me, More and more with every dawn; Memories keep holding me, And they'll stay when you are gone. [Instrumental] [Verse] I left the door wide open once before, Not knowing someone suffered silently; The moon remained without a word of blame, Even as the morning set her free. So many things have come and gone away, There's hardly any room for dreams to grow; A present scented softly like the rose, A future fading, colder than the snow. An endless sorrow pierces through my heart, Awakening emotions deep inside; I cannot even tell what's come of me, Without your love I'm dust upon the sky. [Guitar only] [Chorus] Everything comes back to the heart, Every single passing day; Everything comes back to the heart, But the joy has slipped away. Memories keep holding me, More and more with every dawn; Memories keep holding me, And they'll stay when you are gone.
