In the stillness of the night, I hear your name Carried softly on the breeze, like a flickering flame Shadows dance where you once stood Memories linger in this quiet wood Oh, where did you go, my dear friend? With every heartbeat, I feel the end The world keeps turning, but I can't pretend In this silence, my heart must mend Pictures fade on the mantelpiece Each smile a whisper, a fragile lease I reach for you in the morning light But all that's left is the endless night Oh, where did you go, my dear friend? With every heartbeat, I feel the end The world keeps turning, but I can't pretend In this silence, my heart must mend If love could build a bridge to the stars I'd cross it boldly, to where you are But time is a thief with a heavy hand Leaving me stranded in this desolate land I walk the path where we used to roam Each step a reminder that I'm alone Yet in the whispers, a promise remains You live in my heart, through joy and in pain Oh, where did you go, my dear friend? With every heartbeat, I feel the end The world keeps turning, but I can't pretend In this silence, my heart must mend So I'll hold your memory close, tight as a rhyme In every shadow, in the pulse of time Until the day when our souls unite I'll cherish the whispers, and say goodnight
