I still hear your footsteps
In the silence of the rain
You were fire in December
You were sunlight in the snow
You were the only steady place
My restless heart had ever known
We made forever from a moment
Turning darkness into stars
Holding all our broken pieces
Like a heaven in our arms
Now the seasons move around me
But they never move me on
You're the echo in the silence
You're where all my dreams have gone
After the stars forget our names
After the oceans lose their waves
I'll still be loving you
Beyond the years, beyond the pain
When every light has disappeared
When every memory fades away
You'll live inside my heartbeat
Forever and a day
Oh—even goodbye
Could never take your love away
I keep your picture by the mirror
Like a promise made of dust
Too beautiful to lose or touch
Too sacred not to trust
In the deepest midnight quiet
I can feel you close to me
Breathing like a distant prayer
Still alive in memory
Every wound still shines like gold
Love can turn the darkest ending
Into something death can't hold
If a hundred years should pass
If all we are is dust and light
I will find you in eternity
Beyond the edge of night
We'll meet where all our tears turn golden
Beautiful again
After the stars forget our names
After the heavens lose their light
My soul will carry yours
Across the endless tide
And when the last song finally ends
The final word the universe will know
Will still be love
I still hear your footsteps
In the silence of the rain
