Melodies of Life 
From "Final Fantasy 
IX Piano Collections" 
  (1)Alone for a while 
I've been searching through the dark, 
For traces of the love you left 
inside my lonely heart, 
To weave by picking up 
the pieces that remain, 
(1+2)Melodies of life 
love's lost refrain. 
(2)Our paths they did cross, 
though I cannot say just why. 
We met, 
we laughed, 
we held on fast, 
and then we said goodbye. 
And who'll hear the echoes 
of stories never told ? 
(1+2)Let them ring out loud 
till they unfold. 
In my dearest memories, 
I see you reaching out to me. 
Though you're gone, 
I still believe that you can call 
out my name. 
(1)A voice from the past, 
joining yours and mine. 
(1+2)Adding up the layers of harmony. 
(1)And so it goes, 
on and on. 
Melodies of life, 
(2)To the sky beyond the flying birds 
forever and... 
(1)If I should leave 
this lonely world behind, 
Your voice will still remember 
our melody. 
Now I know we'll carry on. 
(2)Melodies of life, 
Come circle round and grow deep 
in our hearts 
As long as we remember.
