([Verse 1)] The evening light begins to fade, We watch the shadows start to grow, And wonder how the plans we made Will weather every wind that blows. ([Verse 2)] You hold my hand so close and tight, The room is quiet, warm, and still, We look into the fading light And ask if time can bend our will. [(Chorus)] Will our love still feel as strong When tomorrow slips away? Will the melody and song Echo softly through the day? Looking down the winding road, Will we still carry this sweet load? [(Verse 3)] The calendar turns another page, We watch the seasons come and go, No longer acting on a stage, Just moving where the rivers flow. ([Verse 4)] I trace the lines upon your face, And wonder what the years will bring, If we can keep this sacred place Where all our quiet passions sing. [(Verse 5)] They talk of fleeting dreams and years, Of how the brightest colors fade, Of hidden doubts and silent fears That linger in the cooling shade. [(Chorus)] Will our love still feel as strong When tomorrow slips away? Will the melody and song Echo softly through the day? Looking down the winding road, Will we still carry this sweet load? ([Verse 6)] Across the bridge of time we stand, With open eyes and steady breath, Walking forward hand in hand Through every trial life can test. ([Verse 7)] So let the clock tick on its way, We have the promise of the dawn, Beyond the borders of today, Where every waking hour is drawn. ([Chorus)] Will our love still feel as strong When tomorrow slips away? Will the melody and song Echo softly through the day? Looking down the winding road, Will we still carry this sweet load? ([Outro)] The day after tomorrow calls, And in your eyes, the future falls. Forever is a song that stays.
