It’s wintertime again, the wind whispers to me As it brushes by my ears I shiver warily I look over to you; you’re right here by my side And the air you breathe is cold and white…
It’s come the time of year when fragile lives wither away And I impatiently await the coming of spring days When I can listen to the voices of nature’s budding lives As they come into the world under warm and gentle light
Of this fate that no one can escape I’m well aware, but still I will fight on Just to live another day Just to sing another song
It’d be nice, before that day will come, to find a way to leave behind A token that says that this is where I’m from… a proof of life
I don’t want to sing this kind of tragic song right now Hey, I have just one request, so won’t you hear me out? I just want to keep on smiling, laughing with you everyday Singing light and happy songs… taking all our cares away.
Now right before my eyes, the winters come and go Finally I realize something but I do not know The words to say to you… I just do not know where to start But I trust that we are still connected by our hearts
I no longer can see anything I no longer can hear anything I’m so scared to bear this pain on my own I feel so alone…! So while everything inside of me Continues to slowly decay The thought of you smiling brightly Even now Won’t you let me share your pain with you? Don’t be lonely ‘cause I’m here with you Doesn’t matter where you are I’ll be right there for you So as long as you are here with me Please just don’t go anywhere Haven’t we always agreed Without each other we are incomplete? Won’t fade away
I am sure that you are singing a happy tune right now Although the sound of emptiness still resonates so loud Don’t forget the words I said to you, though I’m sure you’ve always known I will stay here by your side… “You will never be alone”
(With the snow that’s falling down still more and more Your life is slowly slipping away I hold you close to me just praying that you’ll be okay If I could just have one wish then surely I would want to hear your voice Even one more time)
I don’t feel so lonely knowing that you are here with me The warmth of your hand over mine is all I really need Though I can no longer hear your voice, I can hear your heart instead I still know the words you say to me - “I love you so so much,” you said
I don’t want to sing this type of tragic song right now Hey, I have just one request, so won’t you hear me out I just want to be here next to you, laughing just like everyday Singing light and happy songs… taking all our cares away
(Now a life has passed and heaven has a new angel today And the snow that has fallen on me - it starts to melt away There is nothing left here for me now, there’s no one to be seen Nothing left for me…)
And this song that marks my parting time I will dedicate to you But before I leave I want to tell you I’m Thankful for you
