Remember When The Music

[Intro]              [Verse] Remember when the music Came from wooden boxes strung with silver wire And as we sang the words it would set our minds on fire We believed in things and so we’d sing.          [Verse] Remember when the music Brought us all together    to stand inside the rain And as we’d join our hands we’d meet in the refrain For we had dreams to live we had hopes to give.          [Verse] Remember when the music Was the best of what we dreamed of for our children’s time And as we sang we worked for knew time was just a line It was a gift we saved a gift the future gave.           [Chorus] Oh all the times I’ve listened and all the times I’ve heard All the melodies I’m missing and all the magic words And all those potent voices and the choices we had then How I’d love to find we had that kind of choice again.        [Verse] Remember when the music Was a glow on the horizon of every newborn day And as we sang the sun came up to chase the dark away And life was good for we knew we could.                  [Verse] Remember when the music Brought the night across the valley as the day went down And as we’d hum the melody we’d be safe inside the sound And so we’d sleep we had dreams to keep.                 [Chorus] And I feel that something’s coming and it’s not just in the wind. It’s more than just tomorrow it’s more than where we’ve been It offers me a promise it’s telling me "Begin" I know we’re needing something worth believing in.           [Verse] Remember when the music Was a rock that we could cling to so we’d not despair And as we sang we knew we’d hear an echo fill the air We’d be smiling then we would smile again.               [Verse] Remember when the music Came from wooden boxes strung with silver wire And as we sang the words it would set our minds on fire We believed in things and so we’d sing.                   and so we’d sing.
