Time goes by for me so very slowly
Take the time to watch the candles melt away
Wonder in the power of the fire
There's a secret hidden right there in the flame

Imagine that: it's so easy here in heaven
It's so breezy with the flicker in the flame

I do recall when I was younger I would wonder
Why do the poets dream of yesterday?
We cannot notice in the minutes we are changing
Until the eyes of our tomorrows meet today's

Imagine that: it's so early in the morning
And the night is just a warning of the day

One day I thought of how the time would come with you here
When we could laugh and share our beer and songs and souls
We cannot notice in the minutes we are changing
I hope you have this as a memory when you get old

Imagine that: Aren't you glad to be remembered
That we're in this thing together in our separate ways
