Bright eyed and brilliant she was
brushed on a canvas above
faltered steps meant nothing in her stride
because she loved
oh how she loved
You fill the space with thoughts of if you should
and she'd be yours if only she could
The light starts to dim
she's fading away
you wish you could see her
she wanted to stay
the night's growing longer
try to keep out the cold
cause she's right there waiting
Oh, don't feel so alone
Her will will stand 'til all but burdens break
an outline sketched in fleeting shades of gray
her shadow's gone but her touch still remains
it hasn't changed if only far away
The light starts to dim
she's fading away
you wish you could see her
she wanted to stay
the night's growing longer
try to keep out the cold
cause she's right there waiting
Oh, don't feel so alone
You can take away what could have been
but you can't take away what was
The light starts to dim
she's fading away
you wish you could see her
The light starts to dim
she's fading away
you wish you could see her
she wanted to stay
the night's growing longer
try to keep out the cold
cause she's right there waiting
Oh, don't feel so alone
