作词 : Champlin, Rhodes, Scott
We're standin' in the shadows of yesterday
We've already said our goodbyes
We've handed in the memories of love we made
And traded in the tears that we cried
But I sometimes still remember
Where before we learned to lie
When we'd never ask for more or question why
 
We may never know
Why we let it go
Somebody please tell me why
 
Chorus:
Sometimes we say goodbye
When there's no reason why
Some things are hard to explain
Sometimes the tears need to fall
There's a reason for the rain
 
Holdin' onto to something it used to be
Only took it further away
No one needs excuses to wanna see
Way beyond the reasons to stay
But it sometimes makes me wonder
What if one of us had changed
Would the sense of time we made have been the same
 
But we'll never know
Why we let it go
If we don't both question why
 
(Chorus 2x)
 
[Sax solo]
 
(Chorus 2x)
 
We're standin' in the shadows of yesterday...
