lyrics

There's nothing really left for us to do
still got some of your cd's lying in my room
I went and wore your shirt to work today
and I think i'll hang on to it if that's okay

we've still got the photographs somewhere
that one with the wind flying through your hair
let's keep hold of what we can, so that we'll know
there is more to life than loss and letting go

the curtains rise and the children sing
and they sing their little hearts right out
they sing of thought and of golden things
and they sing their little hearts right out
eyes glaze and ears ring
and they sing their little hearts right out
they push out their chests and stand up like kings
and they sing their little hearts right out

I hope it's not too long before you call
I've still got the things you made me hanging on your wall
I'd like one day to laugh with you and smile
about how we got through the worst of it with style

to let it turn sour is the biggest mistake
it's not a way to heal only a way to ache
because memories will fade but feelings change
no-one ever tears out their favourite page.

the curtains rise and the children sing
and they sing their little hearts right out
they sing of thought and of golden things
and they sing their little hearts right out
eyes glaze and ears ring
and they sing their little hearts right out
they push out their chests and stand up like kings
and they sing their little hearts right out
