Lyrics

In the shadow of the sunset, where love used to play
Echoes of our laughter linger, fading with the day

We had a love that everyone looked at, walking hand in hand
You saw them smile, their eyes like stars in a gentle land
We shared a love that lasted, longer than the night
They thought we could do no wrong, dancing in the light, yes they did

Maybe it was the way I told you I loved you
Or maybe it was the times that I forgot to say
But why does it matter now, when the fire has turned to smoke
If it’s gone, you know it lasted much too long, gone, gone, gone

Say bye-bye, baby, it’s gone, it’s gone
What we had was a dream that payed on and one
Why were you so perfect, I knew your every move
Cooking in the kitchen while I poured your booze

When our friends came over, laughter filled the space
We showed them how to love, how to dance, and embrace
They always thought we could last, forever in the sun
But the truth comes crashing down, like waves on the run, yes they did

Maybe it was the way I told you I loved you
Or maybe it was the silence that felt like a knife
But whey does it matter, when the moments slip away
If it’s gone, you know it lasted much too long, gone, gone, gone

Say bye-bye, baby, it’s gone, it’s gone
What we had was a dream that payed on and one
Why were you so perfect, I knew your every move
Cooking in the kitchen while I poured your booze

I count the memories, stack them high like cards
Each one a fragile whisper, as love turns into scars
Maybe it was the seasons, maybe it was time
But the clock keeps ticking, and it’s out of rhyme

Say bye-bye, baby, it’s gone, it’s gone
What we had was a dream that payed on and one
Why were you so perfect, I knew your every move
Cooking in the kitchen while I poured your booze

So here’s to the love that lasted much too long
To the shadows we dance in, and the haunting song
Goodbye, dear baby, it’s gone, it’s gone
In the echo of the silence, our love’s now withdrawn
