Childhood Places

It feels so cold today
Knowing that you're going away
I know you need to go, but I wish you'd stay
All my senses collide

I know I've got to bend
You keep on saying this is not the end
I know no matter what you are still my friend
I just want to be where you are

And I, I need you

You are the highlight of my day
You make my smile not go away
And if I could I'd have you stay
I can't ask that of you

So, I will remember you
When I'm looking 'round at smiling faces
I will remember you
in childhood places

I was a sorry guy
So far gone that I didn't realize
Then you came into my life and you helped me fly
I don't want to come down

I know it's your turn now
To find out what your own life will allow
I'll live without you, I just don't know how
I'll take it one breathe at a time

And I need you, I need you

You are the highlight of my day
You make my smile not go away
And if I could I'd have you stay
I can't ask that of you

So, I will remember you
When I'm looking 'round at smiling faces
I will remember you
When I'm trying to fill the empty spaces
I will remember you
in childhood places
