Her radiance so bright
Now forever gone from sight
Blown out like a candlelight in the night
Seek and you will find
Strength in what remains behind
As time will bring a philosophic mind
So long to what's been and gone
Hold on to those happy times
Stay strong as you're moving on
And find a kind of heaven in your mind
Those sweet and simple days
Gone forever in the haze
Still the distant memory stays always
Of when our hearts were young
We played beneath the golden sun
The innocence of first love had begun
So long to what's been and gone
Hold on to those happy times
Stay strong as you're moving on
And find a kind of heaven in your mind
Find the strength in what remains behind .
