When I was young, I asked the moon Where vanished hours go to shine You held my hand beside the dawn And said, “This moment is our life” I tried to keep your fading voice But you said, “Let the light arrive” Then silence opened like a door And your heart echoed inside mine Nothing we love disappears It only changes light It lives within the hands we hold And leads us through the night We are the warmth we leave behind What the stars remember of our lives I wore your letters through the rain Then gave your coat beneath the snow A stranger wrapped his child in it And suddenly I saw you glow Your kindness crossed from heart to heart And taught me we are never gone We lose the form, not what is true Love leaves one life and enters two Nothing we love disappears It only changes light It beats within another heart And leads us through the night We are the warmth we leave behind What the stars remember of our lives We are what the stars remember
