I remember autumn days When the two of us would gaze at the skyline In and out our words would fade As the browning foliage swayed, and we felt fine And all the world was mine Those days have long since passed As they say, good things don't last But still, after all these years There's this echo in my ears "Say welcome to love This is your first time And it's your last time So you better be wise Say welcome to life This is your first time And it's your last time So you fall or you fly" May the jangles and the chimes forever ring out For love and for life In the pocket of my jeans Are the pieces of our dreams and our future You and me at seventeen Straight out of a movie scene, feeling so sure But we were amateurs Those days have long since passed Left behind amidst the grass Even so, the thought of you Springs to mind out of the blue "Say welcome to love This is your first time And it's your last time So you better be wise Say welcome to life This is your first time And it's your last time So you fall or you fly" May the jangles and the chimes forever ring out For love and for life Sipping coffee on a Sunday At the park we used to stroll Maybe you'd be coming my way And the words I'd say, you'll know "Say welcome to love This is your first time And it's your last time So you better be wise Say welcome to life This is your first time And it's your last time So you fall or you fly" May the jangles and the chimes forever ring out May the jangles and the chimes forever ring out Oh, let the jangles and the chimes forever ring out For love and for life
