lyrics

You were here for a moment
But for you, it was just your life
It's the tragedy of those who live forever
To watch the ones that they love die

I have lived a thousand life times
I've seen cities rise and fall, too
But I'd trade everything I've ever had
For just one more moment alone with you

Day and night they are eternal
But twilight only lasts so long
Legacy can not replace a life
But we all have to move on
So I'll write your name forever
In a celestial song

I take tea alone in the gardens
For without you it's not the same
Sometimes I see your face in corners
But when I turn and call your name
It's just a shadow or a trick of light
My longing heart's been fooled once again

I can't grasp that you won't return
When you feel so alive in every dream
You'd think that by this age that I'd have learned
That senses are never what they seem

Day and night they are eternal
But twilight only lasts so long
Legacy can not replace a life
But we all have to move on
So I'll write your name forever
In a celestial song
