Listen here: return-to-forever

It’s been so long since those sunlit says
Since the light so brilliantly touched your face
Not a moment passed that wasn’t sublime
But the end was just a matter of time
Do you think we could return to that place?

To those days by the lake
Where you told me you were mine
Your tender embrace
Our hands intertwined
You put your head on my chest
As I dreamed of our escape
Let’s go back together, to our time by the lake

I know I left you without saying goodbye
But my love for you I held so firmly inside
I can’t expect you to forgive me right now
But if you listen to my solemn vow
It’s you that I could never forsake

Come with me to the lake
Where I gave you my heart
I put my hands on your face
And swore we never would part
And though I know I broke my word
When I had to go away
The darkness is over, and we can return to forever

In your arms I feel like I’ve found my home
Close your eyes and imagine we’re all alone
Back there upon the shoreline, where we used to go
And start over… let’s start over

Let’s get back to the lake
Where we said we’d always try
To life for each moment
Leave the past behind
And if you give us a chance
I’ll put my arms around your waist
And we can start over, back at the lake
