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

Melodies of life, love's lost refrain.

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 the stories never told?

Let them ring out loud 'til 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

A voice from the past, joining yours and mine

Adding up the layers of harmony

And so it goes on and on

Melodies of life to the sky beyond the flying birds

Forever and beyond

So far and away see the bird as it flies by

Gliding through the shadows of the clouds up in the sky

I've laid my memories and dreams upon those wings,

Leave them now and see what tomorrow brings

In your dearest memories, do you remember loving me?

Was it fate that brought us close and now leaves me behind?

A voice from the past, joining yours and mine

Adding up the layers of harmony

And so it goes on and on

Melodies of life to the sky beyond the flying birds

Forever and on

If I should leave this lonely world behind

Your voice will still remember our melody

Now I know we'll carry on

Melodies of life come circle round and grow deep in our hearts

As long as we remember
