The moonlit path once held our tread
The stars above where promises were said
Now silent echoes
They hum in the breeze
This empty world brings me to my knees
The wind carries whispers of yesterdays
Through olive trees and rustling bays
But the shadow of your hand grows faint
In my heart
An ache I can't acquaint
Never again
Your face in the dawn
The light that fades
The touch is gone
The horizon cries where the earth meets the sky
And I wonder why
Oh
Why goodbye
The candle’s wick we watched burn low
Like time unraveling
A thread can’t sew
The scent of jasmine
It lingers
It stays
Yet without your soul
It all decays
Never again
Your face in the dawn
The light that fades
The touch is gone
The horizon cries where the earth meets the sky
And I wonder why
Oh
Why goodbye
So I walk these roads
A lone guitar
Strumming notes for a love so far
Though the strings may quiver
The notes may weep
It's your heart I’ll carry till I fall asleep
