Why am I using words, no more to say
without you
Close the door, put out the lights and go.
Late in the night, in the night your
shadow falls between us.
Nevermore, never know.
There, memories are sorrow,
When there's no tomorrow.
Sleep while the sweet sorrow wakes
my daydream;
Sleep while you think of me with
kindness, please remember former
days.
Sweet the song that once we sang, the
silent parting ways.
And you know, and you know,
And you know, long ago when first we
made our promise -
Empty words, I wonder did you know -
The laugh that love could not forgive,
Is gone and tells no more to live,
And we who look in beauty's love;
Must now, through all, look back on
before -
The tears that I first cried, no more;
Your love has come and gone, no more.
And we who look in beauty's love
Must now through all think back
on before.
Sleep while the sweet sorrow wakes my
daydream
Sleep while you think of me with
kindness, please remember former
days.
And you know, and you know.
And you know, when we two parted in
tears
and silence
past the days, the parting ways.
Fare thee well, fare thee well, you
that was once dear to me.
Think of me with kindness
Think of me.
