Memories And Dreams

(album: Looking Forward Looking Back - 2000)

I'm here at the horizon between the future and the past
I'm looking through the things that fade to the things that really last
The road that I've been traveling I would not trade for gold
It's helped me choose the path between the new ways and the old

You can think about the music and the good times that we had
You can think about the way we felt when we had it really bad
But I can't help feeling hopeful for all the future brings
When I think of joining one more time in the new songs that we'll sing

One thousand years are over, and a thousand just begun
A man must stand and think about the things that he has done
And no matter what they tell you
It's not as easy as it seems
To walk the line that lies between our memories and our dreams

Let me tell you one more story
Let me sing you one more song
Let's raise a glass to all our friends who've come along
Let's talk about the way we were and the way we're yet to be
And when you're walking towards tomorrow keep a weather eye for me

One thousand years are over, and a thousand just begun
A man must stand and think about the things that he has done
And no matter what they tell you
It's never easy as it seems
To walk the line that lies between our memories and our dreams
To walk the line that lies between our memories and our dreams
