Paper Mache Kisses - Before the Sun Sets

In the mirror of the morning
Shadows dance a year's away
Fleeting smiles of youth are a warning
Soon the gold will turn to grey

Dreams once vivid now are fading
In the haze of rushing days
Every moment time is trading
For memories' gentle gaze

And we're just whispers in the breeze
Hearts bound to the hands of time
Fleeting as the autumn leaves
In this brief design

When are the lost years going to rest
Fields of silence and dreams unkept
Hold me closer as the sun sets
Before we forget

Hold me tighter as the sun sets
Because I might forget
Midway marks of life's long journey
Echoes of laughter and of cries

Past once straight or now turning
Underneath these aging skies
Looking back but moving forward
In the twilight of our pride

Every laugh a little softer
Every climb a steeper climb
We're just whispers in the breeze
Hearts bound to the hands of time

Fleeting as the autumn leaves
In this brief design
When are the lost years going to rest
Fields of silence and dreams unkept
Hold me closer as the sun sets
Before we forget
Hold me tighter as the sun sets
Because I might forget

Because I might forget
