We were running through the summer streets
Radio hearts and restless feet
Every night was a neon light
Burning through the dark

We believed in forever then
Every dream around the bend
Laughing loud without a doubt
Who we really are

Now the years are turning pages
Faces fade but feelings stay

As the time goes by
We keep the fire alive
Somewhere deep inside
The songs still shine

And the world moves on
Like an old familiar rhyme
Still I smile and whisper
As the time goes by

Photographs in fading gold
Stories that we still retold
Every road and every love
Left a little mark

Now the mirror shows the years
All the joy and all the tears
But I wouldn't change a thing
Looking where we are

Every moment keeps on moving
Nothing stays but love remains

As the time goes by
We keep the fire alive
Somewhere deep inside
The songs still shine

And the world moves on
Like an old familiar rhyme
Still I smile and whisper
As the time goes by

And if I could live it all again
I would follow every broken star
'Cause every step and every goodbye
Made me who we are

As the time goes by
The nights become the dawn
Every lost illusion
Led us on

And the world still turns
Like a slow and silent tide
Still our hearts remember
As the time goes by

As the time goes by
