Lost in the Memory

He’s standing with strangers outside the school gates
And waits for a bundle of joy that he make
With a woman he loved, she left him until fate
Twisted and turned life around
She kept the kid for a child needs the love of a mother
Like the blood of a rose needs a lover
It’s a role that is honed, a bomb that no one can deny
But it’s hard
To forget what he had
And pretend that he’s starting again
Lost in the memory
Once, it was family
Where is the sunshine now?
Dead end of emptiness, it’s in his soul
Like puda building a hole in the wall
Removing the meanings of things which belong
To a life which no longer is his
School bells ring, little hearts sing
There’s a stampede of feet to the rhythm of spring
They spill out like jelly beans into their hands once again
But it’s hard
To forget what he had
And pretend that he’s starting again
Lost in the memory
Once, it was family
Where is the sunshine now?
Lost in the memory
Once, it was family
Where is the sunshine?
She’s running towards him
A life that he’s waited so long to see
Her face is in bloom like a cherry tree
Happiness wells in his eyes
Born to your carry, my love, he sings
I’ll do my best to pretend this
Nothing wrong
Let’s both sing our song
Mmm-mmm
And we’ll sing until we’re
Lost in the memory
Once, it was family
Where is the sunshine now?
Now?
Now
