Still Life

There's a picture in the hall, I know And it's from a time when feelings showed Though I hold it close before my eyes My heart refuses to see Loving you could have been, oh so easy But there is something you don't understand Through the times when two were one completely There was another in this well laid plan This corridor seems to stretch for years ahead But patient hearts cannot match times steady tread Is this the threshold of a fantasy? Is there still life at all? Loving you could have been, oh so easy But there is something you don't understand Through the times when two were one completely There was another in this well laid plan Best laid plan of ours Watering the garden, some comfort for the twilight years Still, life never lingers, it marches past our veil of tears A moment's all we've got, to have and to hold Don't slip, don't blink, don't turn your head With a photographic memory I could live in a time that used to be Is this the threshold of a fantasy? Is there still life at all? Loving you could have been, oh so easy But there is something you don't understand Through the times when I was won completely There was another in this well laid plan Loving you could have been, oh so easy But there is something you don't understand There was a time when I was won completely Our emotions they got out of hand.
