Stay a minute, let me see you smile
I haven’t seen you for a while
You’ve been busy, great to hear
Seems like yesterday, but it’s been a year
Why must we struggle so much?
Seems easy for us to stay in touch

Life escapes us at a rapid pace
Some engage while others face
Hurts and endings that slow them down
Try to get up but always with a frown
Wish you’d walked slower through time with me
We might understand if only we could see

People in a hurry to stay in one place
Kid themselves just to save face
Faster portends better so we’re told
But we realize the lie when we’re old
Oh to be wiser and young again
Foolish are we who are without sin

Slow down and look at me
Freeze this moment and let me see
Your beautiful person to remind me of us
Before we departed in such a fuss
I’m just passing through as you are too
Remember precious moments between me and you
