Time stands still in childhood memories When the rope first danced with the breeze Like a snapshot frozen in reveries Now it's all just scattered memories Soft hands holding dreams so tight Soft hands holding dreams so tight Soft hands holding dreams so tight Till they slip away into the night Plaster casts of innocence lost in time Like soap bubbles down the drain divine First cuts of wind now crystallized In the palm where childhood dies Seven-starred ladybug lies still and cold By the riverbank where stories unfold A stranger's face I couldn't place In waters where reflections fade Time stands still in childhood memories When the rope first danced with the breeze Like a snapshot frozen in reveries Now it's all just scattered memories Soft hands holding dreams so tight Soft hands holding dreams so tight Soft hands holding dreams so tight Till they slip away into the night Soft hands holding dreams so tight Soft hands holding dreams so tight Soft hands holding dreams so tight Till they slip away into the night
