The train stood still
In the evening light
Smoke rising slow
The air was tight
Your hands in mine
But slipping away
Words unspoken
Too heavy to say
The clock struck loud
The time drew near
Your eyes glistened
A well of tears
I held my breath
Fought back the pain
Knowing we'd never meet again
Parting hearts
A fleeting chance
A love too strong
Yet doomed to dance
Through every mile
Through every year
I'll feel your whisper
Always near
And it falls, falls
Like the rain on stone
Breaking hearts
Where love had grown
A thousand echoes
In the hollow night
This is goodbye
But it feels so right
We walked the path
Where shadows blend
Each step a goodbye
We couldn't pretend
The leaves fell soft
Like moments past
A fleeting season
Too good to last
You touched my face
Your trembling smile
A moment frozen
Yet so fragile
I memorized the curve of your gaze
To carry with me through endless days
Parting hearts
A fleeting chance
A love too strong
Yet doomed to dance
Through every mile
Through every year
I'll feel your whisper
Always near
And it burns, burns
Like the cold night air
A tender ache I'll always bear
The silence screams
But I won't cry
This is goodbye
But love won't die
If I could freeze
The sky tonight
I'd hold the stars
Keep you in sight
But time's a thief
Cruel and unkind
It steals the love
We leave behind
Parting hearts
A fleeting chance
A love too strong
Yet doomed to dance
Through every mile
Through every year
I'll feel your whisper
Always near
And it falls, falls
Like the rain on stone
Breaking hearts
Where love had grown
A thousand echoes
In the hollow night
This is goodbye
But it feels so right
