In the coldest dark of night, I can feel a heat like firelight
The breath of the summer sky, warm on my face
My loyal companion, you're always there
Changing by the moment, I can hardly bare
Waiting for your face to come and see me soon
I know that it's you behind the haze, wish that I could see you but I'll have to wait
You know it's always slipping by so soon... just another phase of the moon
We try to look dignified, just a little dot in an endless sky
Sometimes ya know forever is a short little time
We look for meaning we'll never find
That's what makes life feel unkind
Nothing lasts forever, not even you
You look so different but you never change, you flow with the tide, you wax and wane
You know it's always slipping by so soon... just another phase of the moon
When we said forever did we know, that what we had would come, and it would go
I look up in your face and I see new lines, counting down the time, oh the time
Sand through the hourglass, why does everything have to move so fast
The tighter you hold on the more it slips away
Another night slips into another the day
Close my eyes and you take me away
Tomorrow will come and you'll be out of view
I know that it's you behind the haze, wish that I could see you but I'll have to wait
You know it's slipping by so soon
