This is why events unnerve me
They find it all, a different story
Notice whom for wheels are turning
Turn again and turn towards this time
All she asks is the strength to hold me
Then again the same old story
World will travel, oh so quickly
Travel first and lean towards this time
Oh, I’ll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it’s got to be this time
Watching her, these things she said
The times she cried
Too frail to wake this time
Oh I’ll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it’s got to be this time
Avenues all lined with trees
Picture me and then you start watching
Watching forever
Forever
Watching love grow, forever
Letting me know, forever
It’s powerful lyric - with even more energy in the tune - and whether you believe it’s about life, love, death, a funeral, a wedding, an affair, togetherness, or something else, it stays in my mind as a beautiful reminder that we often see the world differently…

also this isn’t too bad (a bit of a cliche), but
There are places I’ll remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I’ve loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more
Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more
In my life-- I love you more

Not a great fan of the tune, but the lyrics sums up (for me) how important it is for many people to look back with happiness, fondness good feelings or just a smile - and start the day afresh to create some more (I’ll stop with the hippiness now 😉)
