My Love, Farewell

מילים

[Overture] [Verse 1: Soprano] At dawn beside the ruined gate, I kept the letter you once sealed; The ink had blurred, the hour ran late, Yet every promise still was real. [Verse 2: Tenor] I crossed the pass through sleet and stone, With your red ribbon at my breast; The watchfires said the road was closed, But love would not consent to rest. [Chorus: Duet] If fate must part our hands tonight, Then let our names be joined in song; One heart can keep another’s light When all the roads have gone dark and long. [Verse 3: Soprano] The bells below began to toll; I saw your shadow climb the stair. The door swung wide—then came the call, And winter seized the breath from air. [Verse 4: Tenor] I reached your hand; the world fell still. Your cheek was cold against my own. I gave you every spring I’d saved; You gave me back the dawn alone. [Final Duet] If fate must part our hands tonight, Then let our names be joined in song; One heart can keep another’s light When all the roads have gone dark and long. Though earth divide the vows we made, No grave can make our love undone; You are the prayer I carry on, The final star before the sun. [Outro: Soprano and Tenor] Remember me—not as I fell, But as I ran to you. Remember me—my love, farewell. My love, farewell.
