Verse 1 (Gentle, melancholic melody) A thousand years, a blink to me, But every face I start to see, Fades like whispers in the wind, I never knew what it meant to lose a friend. (Piano, soft strings) I watched them laugh, I watched them cry, I saw their flame flicker and die. But in my heart, I never knew, The weight of time until I lost you. Chorus (Build into an emotional swell) How do you measure time that slips away? In moments I ignored, but now I replay. For all the magic I command, I couldn’t understand the touch of a hand. (Reflective and tender) Now I walk this endless road alone, Seeking pieces of the love I’ve never shown. (With hope and sadness intertwined) Through the memories, I see it clear, That time is what makes you dear. Verse 2 (Quiet and reflective) You taught me warmth, you taught me grace, In every fleeting smile, every face. I watched the seasons change so fast, But never thought your life would pass. (Guitar softly joining in) Now I chase the echoes of your name, Trying to find what stays the same. Through towns and battles, lands so wide, I search for what you left inside. Chorus (Full and emotional) How do you measure time that slips away? In moments I ignored, but now I replay. For all the magic I possess, I couldn’t grasp the depth of tenderness. (A mix of loss and discovery) Now I walk this endless road alone, Seeking pieces of the love I’ve never shown. Through the memories, I see it clear, That time is what makes you dear. Bridge (Quiet and introspective, soft piano and strings) I thought the stars would never change, That nothing lost could feel so strange. But now I see, as the years unwind, The true magic lies in what we leave behind. Final Chorus (Crescendo, full orchestration) How do you measure time that slips away? In moments I forgot, but now replay. For all the power in my hand, I couldn’t hold the strength of what you planned. (Hopeful, bittersweet resolution) Now I walk this endless road with you, In every sky, in every shade of blue. Through the memories, you’re always near, For time is what made you dear. Outro (Gently fading with soft piano, like a whisper) Time is what made you dear...
