[00:00.06]On a winter's night stars are cold and bright in the sky
[00:06.93]The slumber of the earth is pure and deep
[00:11.40]From a distant wood drifts the echo of a beast
[00:12.45]The old man stirs and awakens in the night
[00:13.38]He stands before his window gazing at the grave
[00:23.64]Forgotten dreams are flashing through his weary mind
[00:24.93]And though his life is empty he pretends that she's still there
[00:26.52]With hunger in his soul he yearns for life and love gone by
[00:31.62]With memories his one and only joy
[00:32.40]With all he has to give he would give to bring back the life
[00:40.26]And raise the one who lies beneath the snow
[00:42.18]He lights a lamp and looks at pictures of the past
[00:43.26]The faces of their youth still glow with new found love
[00:44.34]But the picture's faded and time has stolen youth away yeah yeah
[00:45.63]With a spoken word that he thought he heard from her lips
[00:46.77]He felt another presence in the room
[00:49.83]He was filled with fear but filled with joy he arose
[00:54.90]And turned to face the image that he knew
[00:55.71]She stood before him and her hand reached out for his
[00:56.82]Peaceful light shone in her eyes
[00:57.42]She said she'd come to soothe him and someday they'd be as one
[00:58.59]She began to fade and her image disappeared
[00:59.52]So he was left alone to face another night
[01:23.22]But never in his life had he been so held in awe
[01:33.78]As he faced the apparition of his wife
[01:35.67]He stood before the window gazing at the grave
[01:36.66]And with a lightened heart he saw the first of dawn
[01:58.95]He knew that she was waiting that someday they'd be as one
