Now the light is fading fast
if only it would last
our time has come and gone
yet I'm still holding on
to words I should have said
and what they would have meant
between old friends like us
between us

how do I begin to say
I've loved you since the day
we waited for the rain
and how it never came
and for the years to come
through a thousand moons and suns
how you've remained my friend
remember

one thing will never change
that's how I feel today
I know you're closer now than ever
let me close my eyes a minute
I'll start from the beginning
before life takes you from me
you have to know

now the night has come at last
our time is fading fast
just let me say
that I will love you always
