¶Lyrics / Text

Once there were flowers, now they are gone Petal and blossom scorched by the sun Summer is over, winter is come Once there were flowers, now they are gone. Once there was music, now it is gone Silent the voice which once rose in song. Silent the singer, silent the song Once there was music, now it is gone. Once there were leaves, but now they are gone Strength will remain, though stripped to the bone. There will be a new song: how can morning bring a light? Love's sacrifice, and dawn breaks the night. Where is the song that gave such sweet bliss? Where is the song that gave such as this? Melody within us brings forth the song: Hope is renewed; Love's music lives on.
