The World Keeps Turning

Lyrics: The shop where we bought our records is gone, It's a bakery now, and the radio's on. I saw an old picture of you yesterday, You had so much hair, and so little to say. We had four different answers and one little car, We drove to the seaside but never got far. We thought we knew everything under the sun, Now isn't it funny how little we've done? And the world keeps turning, Round and round we go. Somewhere there's a summer That we knew so long ago. And the years keep falling Like the leaves upon the ground, But the world keeps turning, And I love the way it sounds. The children are older, the streets have new names, The faces are different, the questions the same. I found an old letter you wrote in the spring, It said, "Don't forget me when you learn how to sing." And somewhere there's a boy with a secondhand drum, Who thinks all the wonderful days are to come. I hope he is right, I hope he is right, There's still so much music to make in this life. And the world keeps turning, Round and round we go. Somewhere there's a summer That we knew so long ago. And the years keep falling Like the leaves upon the ground, But the world keeps turning, And I love the way it sounds.
