Short is the winter day and long is cold, dark night,
White is the sparkling snow and black are crows in flight,
And even though the river flows
Faster every day that goes
In our life
You and me are not alone,
We are wiser, we have grown
Our children they have flown
To the skies above
But they're always with us,
And our love
is always with us
That's enough
For me
To be the one who will not be afraid to live
Until both you and I have nothing left to give
Until the sound of our music is gone,
And the trees have turned to stone
And the night
set in,
Wise one fears not the dark
Matters not how cold or stark
Snow is covering the park
Where new journeys
begin
See the children playing
Their dreams are
The wings that take them
To the lands were
You and I have
never been,
My Friend.
