Forever in the Past

Audio

Lyric

[Verse]
A nickel for a soda a dime for a dance
Streetlights hum a tune in a moonlit trance
Letters on paper in looping script
Memories like records with a gentle skip

[Chorus]
Forever in the past where the jukebox plays
Where the world spun slow in golden rays
Forever in the past it’s a photograph
Faded at the edges but it makes me laugh

[Verse 2]
Sunday best and church bells ring
Picnic baskets and a tire swing
Drive-in movies under twilight skies
Love felt simple like apple pie

[Prechorus]
Oh time was a melody
We sang in harmony

[Chorus]
Forever in the past where the jukebox plays
Where the world spun slow in golden rays
Forever in the past it’s a photograph
Faded at the edges but it makes me laugh

[Bridge]
The scent of bread cooling on the sill
Echoes of laughter that time can’t kill
Polaroids stuck in an old shoebox
Keys to memories no one locks
