If It's Not Forever

When you cross my mind

It's right before I go to bed

I see your face lit up in red

Out in the suburbs

It's been a while now

We're not what we used to be

Guess that's just not what we need

If it's not forever

When we're old and grey

We'll both have these memories

You might be in London with your brother

Half a world away

None of that can change

What it was like

To be young, to be alive

When we're old and grey

Memories never age

If it stays this way

I know we'd be all right

We had our place and our time

And I wouldn't change it

So what it's over now

I still get to think about it

Anytime I close my eyes

Baby, when we're old and grey

We'll both have these memories

I might be in Paris with a lover

Baby, who can say?

None of that can change

What it was like

To be young, to be alive

When we're old and grey

Memories never age

Right back to the night we met

Your glass of wine and my rain jacket

I can't remember what we said

But I was flying

Left the bar and I chased you down

Said you liked having me around

No, we never figured out how it worked for us

If it's not forever, that's just fine because

Baby, when we're old and grey

We'll both have these memories

You might be in London with your brother

Half a world away

None of that can change

What it was like

To be young, to be alive

When we're old and grey

Memories never age

Memories never age
