When good things still happen
When hearts are still light
When forgetting is easy
When you held me tight

I lost the good things here in the dark
I felt my heart sink as we started to part
I have a memory firm in my mind
I watch you leave as you leave me behind

When miracles are common
When people overcome
When dying wasn't needed
when I never was alone

I've seen disasters in front of my eyes
I've seen people fail, striving
I've felt the loss when someone died
I've never felt so alone with you by my side

When dark thoughts are rare
When singing brings tears to your eyes
When music can lift you when you're unaware
When you stand unseen by my side

I let my thoughts wander and soon dark they turned
I sang a song filled with sorrow and grief
I felt the music move into my soul but not a note touched me in the cold
I wish you'd return and hold me tight
I want you to banish the dark from this night
