Last night I found your long and lost letter
About your dreams and how you’d make your life better
So young and unafraid and hopeful for a chance
To rule the world and map life out to your own ordinance

Those were the days that stretched countless before us
We seized the arms of clocks and bound them behind us
My mind has traveled back and trekked a thousand miles
To those days when you gave a thousand smiles

(Chorus)
And you were, you were my dandelion
You were, you were my best friend to rely on
Light in the wind, carefree and easy
You live on in my memory

So this mornin’, I ponder you
And what you wanted of this world
and what this world would want of you
So I find your cards and photos looking for clues
As to when exactly did your petals lose their yellow hue

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Carry on and don’t ask why
Carry on and don’t ask why
Carry on and don’t ask why
It’s so hard just to get by

Now my days are pale and washed out without you
Don’t you know what you meant to the love surrounding you
I try to minimize the moment of you going
And I commemorate the days of deeply knowing you
