but the sky was blue
and the day was warm
and the sun was clear and bright
i remember well
when the morning fell to night
spring was in the air
people found a smile
even in these trying times
the memory of touch
right before they shut the blinds
build your houses
burn your houses down
raise the glasses high
have another round
try to live your life
maybe things will change
it could be awhile
maybe we’ll be free at last
to hold our lovers tight
and laugh until the storms have passed
take a moment
for the human race
say a prayer for love
our saving grace
the memory of touch
it may be all we have
when the world is new
everything is changing fast
but the sky is blue
simply know this too will pass
what’s a soul to do?
simply know this too will pass
