Four Minute Symphonies

There's a quiet avenue far outside this town Where the children all come out and play And the moms and dads all smile They'll all be there for a while They observe the tiny games safe in the shade There are memories buried there deep beneath the ground Tied up in the long roots of the trees It's been five long years Since we said goodbye And wondered if we'd ever meet again We had comedies and tragedies And these four minute symphonies Though they were written long before And we don't live here anymore The melodies and memories remain Sing a song that makes me weep the tears of yesterdays Sing a song that stands the test of time And I'll see you there again With a smile on your face And I'll remember how it felt to let go Of those comedies and tragedies And these four minute symphonies Even though we've all moved on I still love to sing along And reflect on how things came to be this way There's a little girl outside with sadness in her eyes Staring down the road that leaves this town Someday soon she'll leave this place And run far, far away Never forgetting the events that paved her way All the comedies and tragedies And these four minute symphonies Take them down off of the shelf Let us relive what went before We'll dance the way we did when we were young When we were young
