Start at the beginning, finish at the end
Everything you'll tell them is true, nothing is pretend
But when you long to come running back
Remember, this is now, that was then
Yesterday will find you where you've been before
Let the past remind you what's done, look for something more
There's a place I can almost see before us, never if, only when
Start another story, tell it as you go
Make a happy ending, or sad
Tell it as you know
Just remember a day gone by is never really gone
If your tale goes on
If your tale goes...
