Lyric

At the worn-out café counter

I looked up at the winter sky

Blended coffee, cream melting slow—

Those days we watched the sunlight flow

Counting shadows on the chestnut tree

Still standing here, unchanged, just like me

I didn’t know then, the colors true

The depth and shades of love with you

At five o’clock, beneath the chestnut’s shade

On tables where our shadows played

We looked up at the endless sky—

Still clear and bright as days gone by

Just like that time

Still unchanged, here at this table

Watching city colors turn and swell

Black coffee hides my weary heart

Masking feelings torn apart

Blocking light beneath the chestnut tree

Still standing here, as it used to be

Now I understand that quiet feeling

Warm and deep, a gentle healing

At five o’clock, beneath the chestnut’s shade

Counting shadows that softly fade

More than words we failed to say

True feelings hold me every day

Deep inside my heart

As time flows on, we stand once more

By the same window, like before

Tender light fills all around

Filling up this heart I've found

At five o’clock, the chestnut glows

Dancing light that gently flows

In grown-up eyes, reflections gleam—

Memories soft, and future dreams

Shining through me
