Lost in the Memory

He's standing with strangers
Outside the school gates
And waits for a bundle of joy that he make
With a woman he loved
She left him until fate
Twisted and turned life around

She kept the kid for a child needs the
Love of a mother
Like the blood of a rose needs a lover
It's a role that is honed
A bond that no one can deny

But it's hard
To forget what he had
And pretend that he's starting again

Lost in the memory
Once, it was family
Where is the sunshine now?

The dead end of emptiness, it's in his soul
Like Buddha building a hole in the wall
Removing the meanings
Of things which belong
To a life which no longer is his

School bells ring, little hearts sing
There's a stampede of feet to
The rhythm of spring
They spill out like jelly beans into
Their hands once again

But it's hard
To forget what he had
And pretend that he's starting again

Lost in the memory
Once, it was family
Where is the sunshine now?

Lost in the memory
Once, it was family
Where is the sunshine?

She's running towards him
A life that he's waited so long to see
Her face is in bloom like a cherry tree
Happiness wells in his eyes

Born to your carry, my love, he sings
I'll do my best to pretend there's
Nothing wrong
Let's both sing our song
Mmm-mmm
And we'll sing until we're

Lost in the memory
Once, it was family
Where is the sunshine now?
Now?
Now
