I SAW HER SOME YEARS LATER,
and the years had not been kind,
The light that used to shimmer,
in her eyes, I could not find,
We used to dance like fireflies,
beneath the moonlit sky,
But now she walks in shadows,
with a sadness in her eyes.

CHORUS:
Oh, where did the time go,
when did our love start to fade,
Like the colors of a photograph,
like the leaves upon the glade,
We held on to our memories,
like a sweet, sweet lullaby,
But the dreams we used to share,
have vanished in the night.

Her laughter used to echo,
when you heard it you'd want more.
The girl was now lost somewhere,
within the years we'd lived before,
She wore a cloak of sorrow,
woven from the tears she cried,
And the love that once burned brightly,
now a flicker, scarce alive.

We said our last goodbyes,
beneath a cold and distant moon,
As the wind whispered softly,
its melancholy tune,
We held each other one last time,
then let the past unwind,
For the girl I knew was gone,
and the years had not been kind.

CHORUS:
Oh, where did the time go,
when did our love start to fade,
Like the colors of a photograph,
like the leaves upon the glade,
We held on to our memories,
like a sweet, sweet lullaby,
But the dreams we used to share,
have vanished in the night.

Sometimes I hear her whisper,
in the corners of my mind,
Remembering love and laughter,
from another place and time,
But as the stars begin to fade,
and morning breaks the spell,
I realize I'm chasing shadows,
of a love I once knew well.

CHORUS:
Oh, where did the time go,
when did our love start to fade,
Like the colors of a photograph,
like the leaves upon the glade,
We held on to our memories,
like a sweet, sweet lullaby,
But the dreams we used to share,
have vanished in the night.
