When Silence Weighs the Heart

[Intro – softly sung] Now I know you, in those golden days, When dreams are reborn and love softly sways. Life is no longer in black and white, My heart awakens, free and bright. [Verse ] Your gaze sparkles, it shakes all I believed, In your eyes I find a quiet, sacred peace. And if tomorrow the winds roar and cry, I’ll still stand, holding your hand high. Beneath your soft refrains, my pain fades fast, I lose myself in your breath that holds me back. [Chorus] Why does your silence make my heart so heavy? Why does joy crumble in the morning's levy? [Verse ] And suddenly, the earth begins to shake, And suddenly, my heart starts to wake. I can finally let go of yesterday’s pain, The future draws itself in a tender refrain. Life becomes a soft rain of gentle caresses— The only thing that matters is to dream, no less. [Chorus] Why does your silence make my heart so heavy? Why does joy crumble in the morning's levy? [Bridge] But with you beside me, life calls a truce, Yesterday’s shadows fade like an old excuse. But with you beside me, life calls a truce, Yesterday’s shadows fade like an old excuse... [Verse 3 – whispered ] Why must joy be so fragile and thin? Why does absence move in when pain gives in? Why this vast emptiness pulling me tight, When all I need is your voice in the night? Will I still know you, you who were my chance? Will I be left with just this silence to dance? [Chorus ] Why does your silence make my heart so heavy? Why does joy crumble in the morning's levy? [Outro – spoken word ] Will I still know you in those days of endless night? When everything escapes me, When my gaze is just a cry for light? When my body is full of tears, not fight? [Final ] But with you beside me, life calls a truce, Yesterday’s shadows fade like an old excuse. But with you beside me, life calls a truce, Yesterday’s shadows fade like an old excuse...
