In the Ashes

Met you on a summer's day In the field where children play Your smile lit up my darkest skies In your eyes I found my light Built a house with our own hands For you my love, my life began We painted walls with dreams and hope Together we could face the storm Oh, the flames took it all away Memories in smoke, they sway Still I feel your touch so near In the ashes, lay my tears I hear our laughter in the halls Echoes of our quiet footfalls We stood strong through every storm But now I'm just a ghost, forlorn Every stone tells a tale Of a love that death could not derail We danced through every room and hall I'll remain here evermore Oh, the flames took it all away Memories in smoke, they sway Still I feel your touch so near In the ashes, lay my tears Oh, the flames took it all away Memories in smoke, they sway Still I feel your touch so near In the ashes, lay my tears
