Story Behind The Song
composed for song for movie
Song Description
while we go about our daily lives, often oblivious that life is passing us by, we remain unprepared for the time when we have to say goodbye to the ones we love...whether it is our own death or somebody else's...it is not until we are faced with death that we are forced to deal with it (psychologically).

Lyrics
was it so long ago (we found)
that we were falling in love ?
and, yes, I still love you, although
I know sometimes the road has been rough
the years have slipped away ... I didn't make the time to say "I love you"
so grant me another day ... so we can talk like we used to do
chorus
and so our lives pass by and while we laugh & cry
we don't spare a thought about saying goodbye
life is an open book
the days like empty pages to fill
with no time to take a look
just work all day to cover the bills
how did we get this way ?
I didn't see the fading light in your eyes
we're strangers to ourselves today
getting old was such a surprise
