Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Remember the joy that would come without warning
Opened your eyes, woke you up on a Saturday morning
I remember
Running outside to a world with no fear
Wide open spaces and summers that lasted for years
I remember it clear
These days all I feel
Is a longing all too real
You take my eyes off of the future
You lead my heart out of the past
You are the promise here in the moment
Where I find my rest
You are as good as it gets
There have been days that I wished would be over
No margin to give, just the strength to roll over
I remember
Thinking that all my best days were behind me
Tomorrow would come rushing in like some kind of prince charming
I remember it clear
But these days what I feel
In the struggle You are real
You take my eyes off of the future
You lead my heart out of the past
You are the promise here in the moment
Where I find my rest
You are as good as it gets
You make it easy
You make it easy
You take my eyes off of the future
And You lead my heart out of the past
You are the promise here in the moment
Where I find my rest
This is as good as it gets
