Lyric

In a quiet corner of this sleepy town

A trace of you is floating all around

I was right here, watching from the side

Protected your small back with nowhere to hide

You’ve probably forgotten, and that’s okay with me

As long as you’re happy, as long as you’re free

The look in your eyes, the world I don’t know

You’ve grown so tall, with a radiant glow

If I call your name, will the dream start to fray?

I’ll stay by your side, just a whisper away

A secret I’ll keep, till the end of the day

At a distance where you’d vanish if I touch

I’ve been watching you, loving you so much

Seeing your smile is the proof that I lived

The only thing left that I had to give

I can’t tell the truth, I’m holding it in

As the gears of time start to slowly spin

Instead of "Goodbye," I’ll say "See you again"

Praying for the day when the cycle will mend

The words I couldn’t say

I’ll let the wind carry them away

My place is so far, in a room filled with deep sleep

A season locked away, a promise I must keep

But my heart was running, through shadows and light

Just to find you again, in the middle of the night

I’m reaching my hand, but you’re out of my sight

Why is the road so long to make it right?

One single word could break this world in two

I swallowed the voice that was calling for you

Ah... before I fade into the gray

I’m sending a wish to your future today!

The colors are fading, blurring my view

But you don’t notice, and I’m glad you don’t do

The reason for sadness is better unknown

I want you to smile, never feeling alone

That’s all that I need, just to see you like that

Instead of "Goodbye," I’ll be the wind at your back

If I could be the breeze, I’d never look back

Even if the dream wakes, and I can’t feel your hand

Even if I vanish from this lonely land

My feelings will stay, right where you stand

Instead of my tears, I’ll give you a smile

To push on your back for another mile

Don’t look behind you, just keep moving on

Walk straight to the light, to the break of the dawn

Will we meet again in another place?

I don’t want to go, I want to see your face

I wanted more time, more of your grace

So

Instead of "Goodbye," I’ll whisper "See you then"

Praying for the day we can meet once again

The wind is dancing, soft and slow

In the hospital room where the shadows grow

I’m opening my eyes, waking up from the deep

The future is moving, no longer asleep
