When the present becomes past you still have the memory
So long as you can manage to keep your mind
Afraid to face the day when they go away from me
With passing days the memory fades, everything cannot be saved
Remember, remember to love 'em while they're here 'cuz it's not for very long
Remember, don't forget 'em when they're gone
Hold on tight to the whole of your past
Try to make all your memories last
It's all you know, it's all you've done, it's who you are
Sometimes when I sleep they are all alive again
In some unbelievably detailed dream
They exist in me somehow but there's always pain
When i awake, again I grieve. It feels like death is taunting me
Remember, remember to love 'em while they're here 'cuz it's not for very long
Remember, don't forget 'em when they're gone
Hold on tight to the whole of your past
Try to make all your memories last
It's all you know, it's all you've done, it's who you are
Hold on to the madness, hold onto the sadness
Be glad that you have it
Don't wait for the ending
Remember, remember to love 'em while they're here 'cuz it's not for very long
Remember, don't forget 'em when they're gone
Hold on tight to the whole of your past
Try to make all your memories last
It's all you know, it's all you've done, it's who you are
Hold on to the madness, hold onto the sadness
Be glad that you have it
Don't wait for the ending
Hold on
Be glad that you have it
Believe when it's ending
It's the only way to make it through, it's the only way to make it through
It's the only way to make it through, it's the only way, it's the only way
It's the only way to make it through, it's the only way to make it through
It's the only way to make it through, it's the only way to make it through
