At the fading light of day
When I would meet you there
Even the gentle evening breeze
Would linger in the air
With a wildflower in your hand
You smiled so quietly
Time stood still for just a while
As if it waited patiently
Down the little dusty road
I followed from afar
Your footsteps slowly drifted on
Like echoes in my heart
Without a word just one small wave
Before you disappeared
That fleeting little moment
Stayed with me for years
The crimson sunset fell beyond the hills
Leaving all my dreams standing still
Under the old tree side by side we'd stay
Losing track of time until the stars would find their way
If by chance you turned around
I'd quickly look away
Never once I called your name
Only in my heart each day
When the spring rain kissed the road
Thoughts of you would softly grow
By the little white fence on the hill
I still see you standing so still
The crimson sunset fell beyond the hills
Leaving all my dreams standing still
Under the old tree side by side we'd stay
Losing track of time until the stars would find their way
Though seasons change and flowers bloom anew
Your first smile still shines so true
If we ever meet again someday
I'd simply walk beside you all the way
At the fading light of day
I still wander in my mind
Back along that quiet road
Where I left my heart behind
