How many roads

beneath our feet

How many storms

we dared to meet

How many winters

beneath the lamps

How many nights

through foreign lands

How many stations

how many goodbyes

How many mornings

under changing skies

Yet every time

the world grew cold

We carried on

We did not fold

The years kept falling

like autumn leaves

Yet somehow

you stayed with me

Your eyes still shine

like candles in the dark

A quiet flame

A faithful spark

And if the years

erase our names

And time dissolves

our little traces

I will keep

your light alive

Safe from forgetting

All my life

How many loaves

we shared in two

How many books

we journeyed through

How many stairways

how many doors

How many dreams

upon the floors

How many burdens

side by side

How many tears

we never tried to hide

Thread after thread

day after day

We built a life

that found its way

Time keeps writing

its silver in our hair

But every page

still finds you there

Your eyes still shine

like candles in the dark

A quiet flame

A faithful spark

And if the years

erase our names

And time dissolves

our little traces

I will keep

your light alive

Safe from forgetting

All my life

You are the flight

above the clouds

The light on water

The hush beyond the crowds

You are the glimmer

stone remembers after rain

The song that lingers

Long after silence came

You are the place

my wandering ends

The hand I reach for

Again and again

Your eyes still shine

like candles in the dark

A quiet flame

A faithful spark

And when the stars

grow faint above

The last thing left

will still be love

And I will keep

your light alive

Safe from forgetting

All my life

How many roads

How many years

How many seasons

Brought us here

Still your eyes

Still your heart

Still your light

In the dark
