歌詞

Faded smiles in a silver frame

You both looked so young back then

In the quiet room, I see your faces

And somehow hear your laughter again

I spent my years in a busy race

Chasing work and chasing dreams

Never noticing how quickly

Life was moving in between

Now the afternoon moves slowly

Sunlight falls across the floor

I look at those old photographs

And wish I had looked a little more

Somewhere along this quiet way

I grew older than you now

I miss you

Ah, I miss you

There were words I never got to say

Thank you

I'm sorry

I thought there would always be another day

The two of you inside that photograph

Still somehow feel so close

I talk to you a little sometimes

Though I know you cannot know

I remember coming home late

You would leave the light on

I never thought about it much

I just assumed you'd always be there

I spoke as though I knew the world

When I was young and sure

But every time I came back home

You opened up the door

I thought those days would last forever

That's the way young people think

You don't see the edge of summer

While you're standing in the sun

Now there's no old house to return to

No familiar voice to call

Somewhere along this quiet way

I became the older one after all

I miss you

Ah, I miss you

Sometimes I hear your voices in the rain

Thank you

I'm sorry

Two little words that come back again

The two of you inside that photograph

Still smiling just the same

And every year I understand a little more

What I never understood back then

Now when I look into the mirror

There are things I recognize

A little of my father's smile

A little of my mother's eyes

The older I get

The more I see

Little pieces of you in me

The way I worry

The way I care

The way I leave the light on

For someone who isn't there

I miss you

Ah, I miss you

If I could see you just one more time

I'd say thank you

I'd say I'm sorry

And this time I wouldn't hide

The two of you inside that photograph

Still watching quietly

I've grown older than you now

Older than I thought I'd be

And after all these years

I'm beginning to understand

I was never really growing away from you

I was becoming who you were

The room is quiet

The evening light is fading

I look at your photograph

And for a moment

I'm home again

Thank you

For everything
