It happened long ago
In memory lingers on
You were just a girl
I was a young man
Moments frozen in time
Memories that linger in the mind
Lenox is where my thoughts reside
The Avenue where the memories lie
A distant memory
Thoughts as precious as can be
Now vague and in the past
Unrecognized true love
So it couldn't last
Inseparable in those days
But life came along and got in the way
Needless to say
We both went our separate way
A distant memory
Thoughts as precious as can be
Now vague and in the past
Unrecognized true love
So it couldn't last
Days of walks at the mall
While holding hand
Clearly those days now gone
And I understand
It is I that let it slip away
The one true love
I had in those days
A distant memory
Thoughts as precious as can be
Now vague and in the past
Unrecognized true love
So it couldn't last
I think about it all the time
What I wouldn't give to find myself
In that moment in time
Moments now past
That only live in my mind
My mind
I'm glad to have been
There to witness those times
A distant memory
Thoughts as precious as can be
Now vague and in the past
Unrecognized true love
So it couldn't last
A distant memory
Thoughts as precious as can be
Now vague and in the past
Unrecognized true love
So it couldn't last
No matter what the rest
Of my life holds for me
You were my one true love
That I guarantee
A chapter in life
But it was the best
Just thoughts into words
But words of love nevertheless
