Those Were The Nights II

Once upon a time there was a cabin Where we used to hide from wind and rain Remember all the secrets that we whispered And swore we'd never tell a soul again Those were the nights, my friend We thought they’d never end We’d talk and dream 'til morning stole the sky We’d chase the stars above We’d swear it all was love For we were wild and far too young to lie Then the silent years passed through the forest Our footprints faded slowly from the ground If I’d meet you now beside that cabin We’d nod and smile and barely make a sound Those were the nights, my friend We thought they’d never end We’d talk and dream 'til morning stole the sky We’d chase the stars above We’d swear it all was love For we were wild and far too young to lie Just tonight I stood before the doorway Everything had changed and yet the same In the window I saw someone waiting Was that quiet stranger really me? Those were the nights, my friend We thought they’d never end We’d talk and dream 'til morning stole the sky We’d chase the stars above We’d swear it all was love For we were wild and far too young to lie Through the trees I heard familiar echoes I turned around and softly spoke your name Oh my friend, we’re older, maybe kinder But deep inside, the fire feels the same Those were the nights, my friend We thought they’d never end We’d talk and dream 'til morning stole the sky We’d chase the stars above We’d swear it all was love For we were wild and far too young to lie
