Four Minute Symphonies

There's a quiet avenue far outside this town
 Where the children all come out and play
 And the moms and dads all smile
 They'll all be there for a while
 They observe the tiny games safe in the shade
 There are memories buried there deep beneath the ground
 Tied up in the long roots of the trees
 It's been five long years
 Since we said goodbye
 And wondered if we'd ever meet again
 We had comedies and tragedies
 And these four minute symphonies
 Though they were written long before
 And we don't live here anymore
 The melodies and memories remain
 Sing a song that makes me weep the tears of yesterdays
 Sing a song that stands the test of time
 And I'll see you there again
 With a smile on your face
 And I'll remember how it felt to let go
 Of those comedies and tragedies
 And these four minute symphonies
 Even though we've all moved on
 I still love to sing along
 And reflect on how things came to be this way
 ♪
 There's a little girl outside with sadness in her eyes
 Staring down the road that leaves this town
 Someday soon she'll leave this place
 And run far, far away
 Never forgetting the events that paved her way
 All the comedies and tragedies
 And these four minute symphonies
 Take them down off of the shelf
 Let us relive what went before
 We'll dance the way we did when we were young
