Echos Lost In Time

I told her that I'd write her a symphony
It wouldn't sound the way I thought it would
I told her that I'd write her a symphony
But these things take time and I knew
She wouldn't wait another day
But they're just memories of love
In the summertime
And now they're echo's lost in time
Oh-oh

I can't escape her in my sleep
I lie awake in thoughts so deep
Under the moonlit sky I see her back where she used to be
I read her love notes there on the paper
I hear the song she sang down the phone
Regrets are all that's left
If only I could have known

I could have been the author
Of the dreams we'll never have
It's a storybook in my hands, full of past mistakes
And the ink's the only thing that lasts
And there's memories of love
In the summertime
And there's echo's lost in time
And they're full
And they're full
Full of songs for her

My life without her is a sin
And I'm still trying to take it in
But sometimes lessons are learned
When it's too late to say goodbye
If I could go back from the end
I would do it all again
But sometimes you only get
One chance at a last dance

I could have been the author
Of the dreams we'll never have
It's a storybook in my hands, full of past mistakes
And the ink's the only thing that lasts
And there's memories of love
In the summertime
And there's echo's lost in time
And they're full
And they're full
Full of songs for her
