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
