There was a time
when stars were brighter,
a time when your hair glittered like gold
in the light of the night.

There was a time
when we felt high enough
to touch the sky above,
a time when temptations had nothing on us,
moments we said we'd never let go of.

There was a time,
days of endless joy,
and those of darkness.
A time when I looked into your eyes
and found an aching sadness,
a time when I looked into myself
and found a dwelling madness.

There was a time
when feelings got cold,
a time when we planted the seeds
and allowed the hate to grow.
A time for tears to find their way to flow,
for all that love and all those feelings
had to find a place to go,
since it wouldn't live within us
anymore...

There was a time,
a time that angels know of.
There was a time I captured a flame,
a flame I'm never letting go of.
