What Was

What was
Is a memory to haunt you
And what was
Is a dream that comes to taunt you
Teasing you, leading you
Back through the years
And just when you reach out to touch
It all disappears

If what was
Is the only thing you cling to
And what was
Is the only song you sing to
There are ways time can praise
Those are the days
But just remember to remember
What was is just what was

There are ways time can praise
Those are the days
But just remember to remember
What was is just what was
