The night wind whispers by my ear
Your voice still echoes, barely near
By the window, city lights flicker
Alone, I listen to the breeze
The scent of coffee in the silence
Painting your smile upon the air
This untouchable distance
And only your name beats in my heart
Wrapped in the urban night wind
Your echo drifts into the hush
Though we can’t go back in time
I leave my prayer in the moonlight’s glow
My cheek against the metal railing
Wishing time would somehow slow
A tangled memory I can't unwind
Still lingers in my soul
Even the sweetest memory
Now cuts me like a knife
Wrapped in the urban night wind
Your echo drifts into the hush
Though we can’t go back in time
I leave my prayer in the moonlight’s glow
If you returned to this same night
I wonder… would we still be holding hands?
Now only the wind remains
Cradling the tears I never showed
What I feel still calls your name
And in the moonlight, my voice flows
I'm melting into the night
A whispered prayer till we meet again
