I've been thinking about times that we had
I start with happy thoughts that always make me sad
You have no idea how I've spent my years
Turning all my happy thoughts into tears

You were my first, and you'll be my last
All my firsts still live in the past
You took them with you when you said goodbye
That was the last time I looked into your eyes

I've been thinking about the talks that we shared
We shared love, and deep down, we cared
A lifetime ago, and I still miss you so
I'm not sure if you'll ever know

Life goes on with your feet on the ground
Memories live in different thoughts and different sounds
The memory of you lives in my heart and my mind
It always will for now and for all of time

I've been thinking about all the times I held you
Every time I did, it felt brand new
To this day, no one has made me feel that way
No one ever will; there will never come a day

There was a time when we were everything
Names on a notebook for everyone to see
Hand in hand the only way to walk
We didn't care if everyone talked

I've been thinking about all the times I've missed you
and all the wonders of do you miss me too?
I wonder, I wonder all of the time
am I ever a thought that crosses your mind?

Tonight is like all others. I'm so happy I could cry
I can't go through a night without a thought of you no matter how hard I try
Every night I think back to what we had
I'm left with happy thoughts that always make me sad

I've been thinking about times that we had
I start with happy thoughts that always make me sad
You have no idea how I've spent my years
Turning all my happy thoughts into tears
