(Mary Travers Noel Paul Stookey)

Memory moves us past each other

Time is a ribbon without end

Love is the lesson we keep learning

Death but a moment we must spend



Last week as I made our lunch

We talked of yesterdays

I remember more than you

That happens lots these days

But how we laughed, I almost cried

And the afternoon flew by

As we sat on the patio sipping our drinks

And the sunlight began to die



Memory moves us past each other

Time is a ribbon without an end

Love is the lesson we keep learning

Death but a moment we must spend



And we try to give each other comfort

We try to hold off that dark night

Each of us careful of the other

Keeping our own fear out of sight



Ah, you know I've always loved you

And I know you've loved me too

So it's hard to watch you crumble

And forget all that you knew



Yesterday while I was driving

Sunlight streaming through the trees

Suddenly my heartache parted

And suddenly I felt at ease

You will love me all your life

And I will love you all of mine

That's the gift we give each other

That's the gift divine



Memory moves us past each other

Though time is a ribbon without an end

Love's still the lesson we keep learning

And death but a moment we must spend
