1) When the nights grow long and cold
And the days feel grey and old
Then the past becomes a story to be told
But there'll be no tales tonight
Only memories to fight
Memories of love and candles and moonlight

Ch.) I still see her in my dreams
Though our love is gone it seems
That my feelings won't subside
Though our love died

2) I recall when first we met
It seemed destiny was set
And lifes symphony became two hearts duet
And to hold her, hold her near
Made all troubles disappear
And those love songs now made sense, they became clear

Rep. Ch.)

Mid.) Love they say won't last forever
The bond between us had to sever
It hurts now but now is never
The past will last, but last is just the end
Is love the start of hate
Or hate how love must end

Inst. Break

Rep. Ch.)

3) And the love that seemed so strong
That we thought would last so long
Has lost all harmony with our love song
And the dreams I had of you
Turned to nightmares coloured blue
Still I hold on to those memories of you
