Hands holding tight
Only, letting go we let them raise so high
Above our heads
Smiling and screaming to our hearts content
We never realize how quickly life can change
Or how much these days have meant
It's like roller coaster that you never want to end
So look me in the eyes and know
It's all just a ride
That as the world goes around
We're living through the pain, the tears, and hardest years
For every sharp turn and for every autumn night
Spent inside tree houses and window sills
We've never climbed so high, we're not afraid to fall
Looking down and waving from the clouds above
(I've never climbed so high, and I'm not afraid to fall)
From way up here I'm not afraid to fall
These memories have seen me through the pain
Through the tears and the hardest years
And I look to you now
The only one who has ever made me feel so fortunate
So now I'm waking up each day
And it seems to be too cold to be counting
All of my blessings and feeling so very old
But whether you're smiling or screaming
I'll be by your side
I swear I'll be by your side
And if even it becomes
Hearing you just laughing on the phone
I will never forget those days or ever feel alone
Never feel alone
Cause I've got dreams to remember
For a lifetime of regret
I've got dreams to remember
And so many years to forget
