When Time Stood Still

(words & music Joe Pereira)

Sometimes I swear I see the face
of those I’ve lost along the way
although they’re never coming back
it helps to brighten up my day

when winter unfolds into spring
with all the memories it brings
of days gone by and all their love
eternal summers, so it seemed

Nothing ever changed
unlike the seasons
back when time stood still, oh oh
back then
nothing ever changed
unlike the seasons
back when time stood still, oh oh

in my dreams I travel
go back for a day
say the things I never said
before they went away
In my dreams I see them
looking as they did
don’t seem any older
for them time stood still
time stood still

Sometimes I feel the need to say
out loud for all the world to hear
I wish I could go back in time
so you could ease away my fears

but all I have is memories
that sometimes surface as a dream
of days gone by and all their love
eternal summers, so it seemed
