Vinden smeker stilla I mitt hr
Hr den viska minnen frn igr
D var det ltt att leva
D fanns du nra mig
Vran stund tillsammans den blev alltfr kort
Jag blev tvungen att frsvinna bort
Det var med sorg I hjrtat
Som jag lmnade dig

Men jag visste skert att vi skulle ses
Och nu knner jag att chansen ges, idag
innan mrkret faller
are jag dr hos dig
ppna famnen
nr du mter mig
jag vill ge dig ngot
ingen annan nnsin kan
innan mrkret faller
kan vi se igen
hur vr lngtan stiger
I skymningen
innan mrkret faller
ska vi lska med varann
Ingenting kan st I vgen nu
Det finns ingen annan, bara du
Nu are det tid att leva
Och jag vill leva med dig
Jag ska frska ge dig alla svar
Om en eld som aldrig brinner klart
S bara lt den brinna
Lt den tala till mig
Fr jag visste skert att vi skulle ses
Och nu knner jag att chansen ges, idag
innan mrkret faller

Nr natten kommer hr vi vra hjrtan sl
En stjrna faller och allt du nskar kan du f

Och ja, jag visste skert att vi skulle ses
Och nu knner jag att chansen ges idag

kan vi se igen
att vr lngtan stiger
I skymningen
innan mrkret faller
ska vi lska med varann
