Lyrics

I thought about the years we had
All the ones we'd miss
How could a life so full of love
Leave somethin' sharp as this?
I held each memory in my hand
Not knowin' what to do
Every one was beautiful
Still hurt like losin' you


Time ain't worn the love away
Just the edges of the pain
Like the stones down in the river
Gettin' polished grain by grain
What once hurt too much to hold
I can turn toward the light
Find a little more of you
A little less goodbye


At first, your picture in my dreams
Was more than I could take
Now most days it brings a smile
Before it brings the ache
I hear the way you'd tell a joke
You'd laugh before the end
For a little moment
I get you back to me again


Time ain't worn the love away
Just the edges of the pain
Like the stones down in the river
Gettin' polished grain by grain
What once hurt too much to hold
I can turn toward the light
Find a little more of you
A little less goodbye


Some days I find a jagged edge
I break down and cry
But smilin' at a memory
Ain't tellin' you goodbye


Time ain't worn the love away
Just the edges of the pain
Like the stones down in the river
Gettin' polished grain by grain
What once hurt too much to hold
I can turn toward the light
Find a little more of you
A little less goodbye


The love don't get no smaller
It just gets gentler to hold
A little more of your warm smile
A little less goodbye
