Already and so bright, now forever gone from sight
Blown out like a candlelight in the night
Seeking you'll find strength in what remains behind
This time will bring a philosophic mind
So hold on to what's been and gone
Hold on to those happy times
Stay alive
Be strong as you're moving on
You'll find a kind of heaven in your mind
Those sweet and simple days
Come forever in the haze
Still the distant memory stays
Always
But when our hearts were young
We played beneath a golden sun
The innocence of first love had begun
So hold on to what's been and gone
Hold on to what's been and gone
Hold on to those happy times
Stay strong as you're moving on
Find a kind of heaven in your mind
And find strength in what remains behind
So hold on to what's been and gone
