Time Won't Wash Away

There’s always one left unprotected
It won’t be long
And I’ll be on my feet
Though I know I won’t be going with you
A part of you will always be a part of me
When love is done
It seems the fashion
You want to run and put it all to rest
But you brought such meaning into my life
I’d be losing half of me if I’d forget
They say that time washes away
The memory I’m clinging to today
I’m going to hold on 'til my final day
Time won’t wash away
I wish you well
Go find your treasure
I’ll never tell the secrets we outgrew
It would never give me peace or pleasure
If anything should hurt
Someone I loved as much as you
They say that time washes away
The memory I’m clinging to today
I’m going to hold on 'til my final day
Time won’t wash away
Time remember where it began
Both of us so confident and sure
Time, though you have shifted the sands
Our history
That part of me
Those pieces will endure
And time won’t wash away
The memory I’m clinging to today
I’m going to hold
Oh, 'til my dyin' day
Time won’t wash away
