When there is no more time to look back
This day will seem sublime,
When the yellow sun's light has gone out
It will shine down one last time
On us, and the carefree way
The blood ran through our veins today;
When youth has gone and the decades fled
This brief moment will still endure,
When your eyes can no longer focus on mine
And illness outlived the cure,
When life's engines judder and start to stall
We will look back and see - we had it all.
