Sweet summer
Came to an end
Sun came up
Yet once again

There in the morn
Was a boat that came on to the shore
And the edge of night turned gold from black
And all those old feelings came slipping back

I knew it was you
And I knew that my dreams had come true
And I could feel my heart beat again
And suddenly I could remember when
We were more than friends

And time tripped
And it went
Went slipping back
Back to when
We were on the right track
Slipping back
That was that
Slipping back

My memory
Is oh so important to me
Without it I just cannot see
The meaning of life
Because when I'm alone
My soul is as cold as a stone
And I feel the winter in my bones
And nothing is right

Slipping back
My memory
Slipping back
A friend to me
Slipping back
To the happy place

Slipping back
No use waiting
Slipping back
Anticipating
Slipping back
To a state of grace
