[Verse 1] Broken hearts still beat In the lengthening shadows Of past once-bright suns. [Verse 2] Ecstasy once sweet, Sours each passing day, Like fine, uncorked wine. [Verse 3] Once we both could feast, On leftover mac and cheese, With sides of warm smiles. [Verse 4] You clipped coupons daily, To stretch my thin paycheck, And pay all our bills. [Verse 5] And yet we felt wealthy, With our love a treasure, That no one could steal. [Verse 6] Now we can have prime rib, Caviar, champagne daily, But no feast in them. [Verse 6 - intense, high energy] I’d give my life gladly, For just one month with you now, As we were back then. [Verse 8] Long for mac and cheese, Shared with you when you love me, As in those days past. [Bridge – soft, reflective] Grievances forgotten, Walking hand in hand again, In rain, snow and bright sun. [Break – sad, breathy] Hope reigns eternal And [[Outro - restrained emotion, breathy, almost a whisper] Broken hearts still beat In the lengthening shadows Of past once-bright suns.
