I Used To Love Parades - Blue Highway

Another birthday came and went

Guess I missed the card you never sent

I can’t blame you though it’s true

It’s not like I was there for you

I used to love to watch the trees

Leaves in motion through a gentle breeze

Now I watch them falling down

And the wind’s a mournful sound

I guess life ain’t all that bad

Still got memories in spades

I wish they didn’t make me sad

You know I used to love parades

I don’t like football anymore

Don’t even care enough to hear the score

Seems like everything I do

Keeps reminding me of you

I wish I felt like going out

Alaska’s nice this time of year, no doubt

But lately life just ain’t the same

Guess I should learn to take the blame

I guess life ain’t all that bad

But life worth living slowly fades

Everything that’s left is sad

You know I used to love parades
