Two days used to seem so far away
Now a year passes by in the blink of an eye
Old age is slowly creeping up on me
Responsibilities making time move faster
I know
I will be gone
One day
But you'll have a picture and a storybook in your mind
Of me
So smile
Yeah, I will be gone
One day
But you'll have a picture and a storybook in your mind
Of me
So smile
We'd lay between the pine trees
Beside the fire on a summer's night
Unknowingly making memories
To keep us warm when are hearts aren't bright
And when I'm on my way out
Please take some comfort in knowing
That you've got the thoughts of the good old days
They're there to keep you going
And I will be gone
One day
But you'll have a picture and a storybook in your mind
Of me
So smile
Yeah, I will be gone
One day
But you'll have a picture and a storybook in your mind
Of me
So smile
Never stop making memories
Live life, don't just exist
Never stop making memories
Live life, don't just exist
'Cause every day can be a good old day
Yeah, I will be gone
One day
But you'll have a picture and a storybook in your mind
Of me
So smile
Yeah, I will be gone
One day
But you'll have a picture and a storybook in your mind
Of me
So smile
