When I wake up to your footsteps

As you get up out of the bed

They make a song that sounds so simple

But it dances in my head

A melody so perfect

That it gets me through the day

And the thought of us forever

Is one that won't ever go away

All I need to know is

Where to start

Take my hand and show me forever

As I never will I ever let you go

So let's hold on together

To this paper and this pen

And write down every letter

To every word we've ever said

All I need to know is

Where to start

Take my hand and show me forever

As I never will I ever let you go

Let's write our story

And let's sing our song

Let's hang our pictures on the wall

All these precious moments

That we carved in stone

Are only memories after all

Memories after all

Memories after all

You know

You gave me hope

But I've got to let go

I've got to let go

It's taking its toll

Deep in my soul

Now I've got to let go

We wrote our story

And we sang our songs

We hung our pictures on the wall

Now those precious moments

That we carved in stone

Are only memories after all
