Turn back the clock
To when the books were opened up
And maple leaves fell to the ground
All golden brown and blown around

Will time erase
That fragile place
Where everything was new to me and you
Help me escape
This dark landscape
And recall days of frosty dew

Remember when
The air was crisp and full of life
With rites of passage in the fall
And lockers all slammed down the hall

Will time erase
That fragile place
Where everything was new to me and you
Help me escape
This dark landscape
And recall days of frosty dew

How the sun would shine
Between and through the trees
Growing shadows on the grass
Like angels rising off their knees

There was a time
When love was freshly white and pure
And hearts would limit their demands
To holding hands and making plans

Will time erase
That fragile place
Where everything was new to me and you
Help me escape
This dark landscape
And recall days of frosty dew

Help me escape
This dark landscape
And recall days of frosty dew
