I walked past the old ground where youth did unfold
Love of old friends building blocks of my soul
Tying the knots which could never undo
I soaked in the sins of past glories of youth
With our mothers cars and our first bought guitars
First love at the beach we'd all sing to the stars
You looked like a picture that god itself drew
It hangs on the wall with my glories of youth
For you in my heart a place there will always be
And I hope in yours there will be a place for me
Amidst all the change, the gifts we once gave
Are tucked in my smile where they can never take away
The years have gone by and they've bid us adieu
Some living, some sinning, and some wear the same shoes
But never forget that they've been good to you
Those sweet memories of our glories of youth
For you in my heart a place there will always be
And I hope in yours there will be a place for me
Amidst all the change, the gifts we once gave
Are tucked in my smile where they can never take away
So never forget that they've been good to you
Those sweet memories of our glories of youth
And never forget they're forever with you
Those sweet memories of our glories of youth
