When the bright memories fade to grey
And all the gold loses its luster
Shadows gather at the end of day
And a smile is more than you can muster;
I will still love you.
When the light of your eyes begins to fade
As your hair has done over the years
And I face the dark unafraid
With cheeks wet from the dripping tears;
I will still love you.
Once I dreamt of us growing old
And walking into the dusk together
But your heart has grown cold
And we can not have forever.
Yet I still love you.
For you fled into an early night
And left me in this Hell alone
As you chased a new lover bright
My butterfly off has flown.
And I will always love you.
