Recognize - Remember the Days lyrics

[Verse 1: Leslie] You came one morning like you were the rising sun Rea**uring that you had time to have your fun You stood right by but that was our last time I was so blind was that really our last time? Had we known couldn't cope with these hands dealt Knowing how soon you went out I could've just collapsed myself I won't cheat myself wishing you were still around Without you here in the flesh This don't feel like home now [Chorus: Leslie] There's no hand of yours to hold Less laughter in the world today You made your presence known And it still hasn't gone away I remember your ways We'll still remember the days [Verse 2: Leslie] Childish living is so easy to do When the realities of life are not yet evident as truth But we held hands and you guided me through Like my protection there's nothing you couldn't do No one you wouldn't defend if you felt they had the worst Guess you had too many friends and a heart so big it burst If there ever was a leader in my life You were among the first and you will be for all time [Chorus: Leslie] There's no hand of yours to hold Less laughter in the world today You made your presence known And it still hasn't gone away I remember your ways We'll still remember the days [Outro: Leslie] You're gone but never forgotten You're gone but never forgotten And you'll never be forgotten I swear You're gone but never forgotten You're gone but never forgotten You're gone but never forgotten You're gone but never forgotten Because I love you
