Lyrics
Whispers in the summer breeze Holding on to what we used to be We chased the sun down counting roads laughing till The stars came, glow your hand in mine The world fell by dancing barefoot, foot under moonlight Oh, those days we can't get back back, heart full of fire No turning back, you were my forever, my wildest dream Now I'm singing, I'm singing what love used to mean We were unstoppable In the glow, in the glow of what could never be Time pulls us under waves crashing high But in my heart you're still alive I run to you heart thorn the story make it true To you, heart thorn, the story, make it true In the glow, in the glow of what could never be Whispers in the summer breeze Fading slow But never leave
