The days have passed, a journey flown,
The days have passed, a journey flown,
Hoping to meet you, and you alone,
Hoping to meet you, and you alone,
The days have passed, a journey flown.
The candle burned, as night did fade,
The candle burned, as night did fade,
We cast pearls from eyes, a tear parade,
Drop by drop, the moonlight swayed,
Drop by drop, the moonlight swayed,
All night long, your memory played,
The candle burned.
How can we believe, this truth so stark,
In your heart, no trace, no single mark?
How can we believe, this truth so stark,
Of love's tale, a life's long arc,
Of love's tale, a life's long arc,
You listened, while we played our part,
The candle burned.
Oh, my companion, my confidante true,
Your sorrow's echo, pierced my heart anew,
Oh, my companion, my confidante true,
Your sorrow's echo, pierced my heart anew,
The candle of my eyes, to ash it flew,
The candle of my eyes, to ash it flew,
A few tears, though, still shimmered through,
The candle burned, as night did fade,
The candle burned, as night did fade.
