Ask not of parting's eve,
it came, and softly slipped away.
Ask not of parting's eve,
it came, and softly slipped away.
My heart, it found solace once more,
my soul, it steadied, held its sway.
Ask not of parting's eve,
it came, and softly slipped away.

Within the mind's assembly, your beauty's candle flared,
within the mind's assembly, your beauty's candle flared,
the moon of sorrow dimmed,
the moon of sorrow dimmed,
the night of separation waned and flared,
the moon of sorrow dimmed,
the night of separation waned.
Ask not of parting's eve.
When I remembered you, the morning bloomed with scent,
when I remembered you, the morning bloomed with scent,
when I remembered you,
when I remembered you,
the morning bloomed with scent,
when I embraced your grief,
when I embraced your grief,
the night began to sway and relent.
when I embraced your grief,
the night began to sway.
Ask not of parting's eve,
it came, and softly slipped away.

From the heart, we'd settled all,
From the heart, we'd settled all,
From the heart, we'd settled all,
From the heart, we'd settled all,
and deemed ourselves secure.
but speaking face to face,
but speaking face to face,
the words, they shifted, went astray.
but speaking face to face,
the words, they shifted.

My heart, it found solace once more,
