Ghost in the Sunbeams

歌詞

In the back of a drawer, an album lies in sleep A sepia-toned version of you is smiling sweet What did your voice sound like, when you would call my name? I try to bring it back, but it's lost inside a haze The park bench where I'm sure we sat, watching the day go by The sunlight dancing through the leaves, a distant memory's sigh The harder that I try to grasp, the more the outlines blur Just the feeling you were precious... is a pain that still occurs All of the days, the days I carved into my heart Like castles made of sand, they're falling all apart Oh please, let time stand still, don't take anything more away I'm terrified a day will come when I forget your name Please, just let this warmth remain... don't let it fade The song you used to love, I hear it on the street It only brings a sweet nostalgia, and loneliness so deep I try to hum the melody, but the notes won't reappear My heart has now become a net just riddled with tears The days we laughed at simple things and fought until we cried They feel just like a movie scene from someone else's life The memory of "happiness" now leaves me all alone This slow and quiet fading hurts more than being gone All of the love, the love I held with all my might Is getting buried under dust that settles in the night Oh please, can someone tell me what I am supposed to do? The sorrow of a wrinkled hand that strokes a photo of you And whispers to the empty air, "I don't remember you" Please, just don't erase this love... let it shine through If every single memory should vanish from my mind The person that I am today would be left far behind Because the only proof you lived, the only proof that's real Is locked inside this fading heart, it's all I have to feel All about you, about you, etched into my soul But memory is merciless, it makes the past of all Oh God, if you are listening, then please just hear my prayer Even if I forget your name and the face I held so dear Just let me know the reason why I'm crying all these tears And let this warmth remain until the day I disappear Let it stay
