Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Mother, tell me

I long to hear the stories

Just like long ago

All these memories

Start to fade before me

I cannot let them go

No, I can't let them go

[Verse 2]

From the cradle to the grave

It's a fear I can't escape

Who will be my hiding place when you're gone, oh

Oh, oh

[Verse 3]

Father, stay here

Don't leave me like the other

Know I need you so

All you gave me

Father, how you love me

Treated like your own

Don't ever let me go

[Verse 4]

From the cradle to the grave

It's a fear I can't escape

Who will be my hiding place when you're gone

[Verse 5]

There's no way to deny the brevity of life

[Verse 6]

As time keeps marching on, all we have is lost

[Verse 7]

As time keeps marching on, all we have is lost

Nothing lasts forever, nothing stays the same

[Verse 8]

From the cradle to the grave

It's a fear I can't escape

Who will be my hiding place when you're gone

[Verse 9]

From the cradle to the grave

It's a fear I can't escape

Who will be my hiding place when you're gone

[Verse 10]

How am I to carry on

How am I to carry on

(As time keeps marching on)

How am I to carry on?

(All we have is lost)

Nothing lasts forever, nothing ever stays the same
