(Music and lyrics by Richard Marx)



Twenty four and he believes for sure he's got it made

Fame is here for good and looks will never fade

He doesn't know

The game is never over till the cards have all been played



Eighty three and still he feels his best is yet to come

He believes that youth is wasted on the young

He's alone

The only dream he ever has is being with someone



Love you when you're standing tall

But nobody knows you when you're falling

All you have to do is call

But nobody ever hears the silent scream.



Christmas came and went again but still nobody came

Staring at her wedding photo in a frame

She's alone

We should hope the loss of memory helps to ease the pain



chorus



Memories, moments you recall

We should be remembered for the greatest of them all

You can't begin to live someone else's life

Or your own will pass you by



Oh, who's to know

Maybe we can learn a thing or two from everyone



chorus
