Once, as my heart remembers
All the stars were fallen embers.
Once, when night seemed forever
I was with you.
Once, in the care of morning
In the air was all belonging.
Once, when that day was dawning
I was with you.
How far we are from morning,
How far we are –
And the stars shining through the darkness,
Falling in the air.
Once, as the night was leaving,
Into us our dreams were weaving.
Once, all dreams were worth keeping.
I was with you.
Once, when our hearts were singing,
I was with you.
