Reunion
The Grinns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think about the times we've had
Brings a smile to my face to think about it
And the good times seem so far gone
When I'm half a world away
And it makes my ol' heart ache that it's so clouded
I miss my friends, I miss the care
And sometime and somewhere is our reunion
I miss your face, I miss your truth
I miss the innocence of youth
And I hope that someday soon, is our reunion
There are people that I know
And there are people that I've known
Reminiscing on those pristine glows and laughter
And I find myself alone thinking in melancholy tones
It's your happiness and joy, I'm chasing after
I miss my friends, I miss the care
I miss the memories we have shared
I know sometime and somewhere is our reunion
Won't you meet me by the sea?
Won't you meet me in my dreams?
Won't you greet me tearfully at our reunion?
I miss my friends, I miss the care
I miss the memories we all share
I know sometime and somewhere is our reunion

There are nights I lay awake
I spend some nights restless and unable to sleep
I think about the times we've had
During these nights, I reminisce about the memorable moments we spent together
Brings a smile to my face to think about it
Recalling the good times brings a smile to my face
And the good times seem so far gone
However, those happy memories seem so long ago
When I'm half a world away
Especially when I'm miles and miles away from all of you
And it makes my ol' heart ache that it's so clouded
It saddens me to realize that my heart feels heavy and burdened at the thought of being away from all of you
I miss my friends, I miss the care
I miss each and every one of you, and the way we took care of each other

In my life, I have met different people
And there are people that I've known
