Friends change   The faces will rearrange   When will tomorrow be yesterday?   I know what I want to come next   Don't know what I'm becoming      A town grows, and watch as they build it   This happens brick by brick   You can't tell how long it'll stand   And if it falls, will they rebuild it again?      The things that we know   We've got to let them go   'Cause they'll grow   Sometimes too fast for us to realize   Accept it, accept this      We miss these changes day by day   Turn to dust and then blow away   These aren't changes in our eyes   It's only life that's passing by      The world spins the same as a rose blooms   It happens, but it's invisible to you   Nothing here can last forever   Unless you always remember      Leaves fall, the trees become bare again   The fall ends and we start a new year and then   No one will know what changes will come   It's too slow, it's too subtle to notice one   Accept it, accept this      We miss these changes day by day   Turn to dust and then blow away   These aren't changes in our eyes   It's only life that's passing by      Things will come and things will go   When it ends, we'll never know   We'll live our lives and carry on   Till it's over, till it's gone      The things that we know   We've got to let them go   'Cause they will grow   Sometimes too fast for us to realize      Nothing here can last forever   Unless you always remember      We miss these changes day by day   Turn to dust and then blow away   These aren't changes in our eyes   It's only life that's passing by      Things will come and things will go   When it ends, we'll never know   We'll live our lives and carry on   Till it's over, till it's gone
