Oh how the time has flown by Has it been so long since last goodbyes You'd never guess the changes here A subway station on our street
Remember waking up with all that noise Hammering and shouting from 9AM Calling us to begin Calling us to our secret place Where face to face we'd kiss
And I'll never forget The night when we first met The freezing cold, the frozen air You held on to both my hands And asked me if I was cold But now my dear you're never here with me Just like a firefly Burns brightly soon to die eternally
Then all at once the stars disappeared And in the distance dawn's reprieve Broke through the darkest powers of night So once again the world was right
And it seems so strange that I was once so scared By dawn's cool light I was unprepared But even though I'm feeling strong And I've learned how to get along I'll never stop feeling so wrong
When I placed that lonely flower upon your pale cold cheek I felt so lost I couldn't speak When friends they began to cry Calling their last goodbyes Silence was your solemn reply A sacred flame burnt upon the ocean of your soul
