Dusty Pages

So get that hurt look off your face No need to be alarmed I was only trying not to lose my place I didn't mean no harm This place we've come to It's a brand-new world With a whole new set of rules And I'm not complaining And I ain't enraged Just a bit confused Would you be my friend through the ages Watch the decades drifting by And read to me from dusty pages All the echoes of our lives You'd fold the napkins, sitting on the stairs Through the afternoon I'd sit there watching till you'd stack the chairs From across the room I kept your letters in my life Kept them safe and sound And I read back through them once in a while When there's no one else around Would you be my friend through the ages Watch the decades drifting by And read to me from dusty pages All the echoes of our lives Would you be my friend through the ages Watch the decades drifting by And read to me from dusty pages All the echoes of our lives
