Sun and moon across the stars
Winter snows and cable cars
Summer rains and ice cream bars
I've looked at time that way
|
But now I've learned I'm not alone
I'm a part of everyone
So many futures held on loan
I measured time this way
|
I've looked at time from all sides now
From young and old, and still somehow
It's timeless cycles I recall
I really do know time after all
|
Share and care all we know
Hearts and souls in full flow
And every day a gentle glow
I've looked at love that way
|
I know this love is not perchance
Freely held in resonance
Timeless moments mark our dance
I've measured love that way
|
I've looked at love from all sides now
Without desire, and still somehow
It's love's sweet freedom I recall
I really do know love after all
|
Embracing the here and now is key
Diversity in harmony
When to sing and when to be
I've lived my life that way
|
A simple truth is known to all
Love each other or we fall
Life is but a waterfall
That only flows one way
|
I've looked at life from all sides now
From birth to death, and still somehow
It's lifelong loves that I recall
I really do know life after all
