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.
