I watch the clouds roll by,
 as morning floods the sky.
 Why do things change?
 Like stars in the night, 
You stop and catch my eye.
 I move frame by frame.
 And I know... 
I sit in my room and I think of you,
 it just brings me down. 
I don't know what went wrong,
 but I'll sing this song...to you.
 And I'll hope that you see,
 you mean everything to me.
 Lay awake in bed while thoughts fly through my head.
 Can't things stay the same? 
I know it's been awhile,
 but I can't forget your smile.
 I hope it's the same. 
Its been so long, its been so long, its been so long.
 Time will move on & on.
 Its been so long, its been so long, its been so long.
 Time will move on & on.
 It's time to move on & on,
 cause time will move on & on & on. 
I'll let you know, I'm letting go.
 But I hope that you see you meant everything to me.
