Lyrics

Never thought you'd leave so soon,
Fading in the afternoon.
always thought that you'd be here forever,
Shining like the moon.
Suddenly I find you gone.
All I do is stare.
Still you are not there...

Did I say I loved you so
Or did I think you'd just know?
I remember sunshine hours together.
Now the light burns low.
Though I have to carry on,
Here I am alone,
Sinking like a stone...

And now, the words that you would always say,
I keep thinking of.
And I shall try to live my life that way.
I'll remember love...

I will never say 'Adieu'.
Everything I am is you.
No, I'll keep you here inside forever,
Wise and warm and true.
I'll remember days that shone.
Seemed they'd never end.
Now, I can't pretend.
I never thought you'd leave so soon.
