Still Life

There's a picture in the hall, I know
 And it's from a time when feelings showed
 Though I hold it close before my eyes
 My heart refuses to see
 Loving you could have been, oh so easy
 But there is something you don't understand
 Through the times when two were one completely
 There was another in this well laid plan
 This corridor seems to stretch for years ahead
 But patient hearts cannot match times steady tread
 Is this the threshold of a fantasy?
 Is there still life at all?
 Loving you could have been, oh so easy
 But there is something you don't understand
 Through the times when two were one completely
 There was another in this well laid plan
 Best laid plan of ours
 Watering the garden, some comfort for the twilight years
 Still, life never lingers, it marches past our veil of tears
 A moment's all we've got, to have and to hold
 Don't slip, don't blink, don't turn your head
 With a photographic memory
 I could live in a time that used to be
 Is this the threshold of a fantasy?
 Is there still life at all?
 Loving you could have been, oh so easy
 But there is something you don't understand
 Through the times when I was won completely
 There was another in this well laid plan
 Loving you could have been, oh so easy
 But there is something you don't understand
 There was a time when I was won completely
 Our emotions they got out of hand.
