There is the face I once loved from afar
There are the eyes that were lit by a star
Shining through skies that disguise who we are
Fair as a light that glows
Rare as a perfect rose
Where is the heart I chose?
There
There are the lips that once smiled in my sky
There is the dream that I watched pass me by
She disappears through the tears that I cry
There all my longing goes
There is a faded rose
Bare as the love that grows
There
Long ago frozen in time
Long before my sonnet lost its rhyme
I was lost in one tender kiss
And her arms could not resist
In that moment I found love
In a heart that once was mine
There once were nights when her spark filled my skies
There in the dark with the moon on the rise
Now every night steals the light from my eyes
There all my longing goes
There is a faded rose
Bare as the love that grows
There
