Time Never Ages

TIME NEVER AGES (Lyrics & Music: Marcelo Gomes de Macedo) Intro] [Verse 1] On the lifelong train we're riding, Time is always collecting fares. Steel rails lead us ever onward, Through the miles that no one shares. Clocks are nothing but illusion; Even when their hands stand still, Time keeps running on forever, Moving on against our will. [Chorus] Only the memories remain, Childhood's all that's left behind. Only the memories remain, Living forever in my mind. [Verse 2] Through the journey of a lifetime, Time has never been our friend. Looking through the train's old window, Watching every station end. Every stop becomes a memory, Every mile just slips away. While the train keeps rolling onward, Never asking us to stay. [Repeat Chorus Melody] [Repeat Chorus] Only the memories remain, Childhood's all that's left behind. Only the memories remain, Living forever in my mind. [Verse 3] In my suitcase lie the stories, Shining echoes from the past. Every memory is a spark that Wakes forgotten dreams at last. Hidden deep inside the treasure Of the heart and restless mind, Waiting for a single moment To bring yesterday to life. [Pre-Chorus] When the train reaches its last station, Something stirs inside the soul. Suddenly a child awakens, From a life so long ago. Every laugh and every heartbeat, Every dream that used to be, Comes alive inside the traveler, Like an endless melody. [Repeat Chorus Melody] [Repeat Chorus] Only the memories remain, Childhood's all that's left behind. Only the memories remain, Living forever in my mind. [Repeat chorus melody] One truth... there's only one truth. Time has mercy on no one. Time will never grow old, 'Cause it steals away our youth. [Repeat chorus melody] One truth... there's only one truth. Time has mercy on no one. Time will never grow old, 'Cause it steals away our youth. [Final vocalization over the accordion solo chorus melody] Lá iá, lá lá iá, lá iá!... Lá iá, lá lá iá, lá iá! Lá iá, lá lá iá, lá iá!... Lá iá, lá lá iá, lá iá! [End]
