Year of my memory   bring back to me
voices from yesterday   voices for me
bring back the laughter that echoes in my ear
bring back the times when I had no fear,

the white snow is so beautiful, but oh so so cold
and I sing of wilted flowers
'cause I ain't seen one for so long

I'm looking for sunshine, but only on cloudy days
I'm looking for someone, but this crowds too damn big
Year of my memory bring back to me
that time in the picture book
that time when I'm happy
bring back to me
a picture of sunshine     a day of no care
a day in the rain  that washed away pain
bring back my wounded heart
but fix it for me
bring back that friend, who knew God and me

Give me a sign    give me some change
'cause I'm tired of this old horse
and he's tired of me
Give me a shy glance   Give me a sweet breeze
Year of my memory  somebody    somebody
Year of my memory   I wish    I wish
You could bring her to me
If I could only find her
At least for my memory.
