I’ve known so many people in my life, Some are still around, but most just pass me by. My circle’s small, but once it stretched so wide, Now it’s just a few who stayed through time. I still see faces when I close my eyes, Visions of laughter, heartache and goodbyes. It’s crazy how the years just steal their names, And leave an empty feeling all the same. So here’s to the strangers who shaped who I am, The lost ones, the lovers, the ghosts, and the friends. To the times that burned out before they began, We’re all just names in the wind. Here’s to the nights we swore would never end, We’re all just names in the wind. I’ve seen hearts stop and dreams decay, Watched the brightest souls just drift away. Some found me when I was barely alive, Then slipped from my world like passing time. And I wish I could thank them for all they gave, For the love, the lessons, the life they saved. But time doesn’t wait, it just moves on by, And I’m left with nothing but a last goodbye. So here’s to the strangers who shaped who I am, The lost ones, the lovers, the ghosts, and the friends. To the moments that mattered but never made sense, We’re all just names in the wind. Here’s to the nights we swore would never end, We’re all just names in the wind. Maybe that’s all this life was meant to be, A fleeting thought etched in eternity. And when our footprints fade in the end, We’re all just names in the wind. So here’s to the strangers who shaped who I am, The broken, the brave, the lost, and the friends. Every hello and every bitter end, All of it made me who I am. I’ll carry yours until mine ends. We’re all just names in the wind... Just names in the wind.
