[00:00.06]On a winter's night stars are cold and bright in the sky
[00:01.23]The slumber of the earth is pure and deep
[00:02.10]From a distant wood drifts the echo of a beast
[00:09.30]The old man stirs and wakens in the night
[01:01.50]He stands before his window gazing at the grave
[01:04.23]Forgotten dreams are flashing through his weary mind
[01:05.31]And though his life is empty he pretends that she's still there
[01:06.69]With hunger in his soul he yearns for life and love gone by
[01:10.59]With memories his one and only joy
[01:12.63]All he has to give he would give to bring back the life
[01:14.01]And raise the one who lies beneath the snow
[01:15.87]He lights a lamp and looks at pictures of the past
[01:22.20]The faces of their youth still glow with new found love
[01:23.28]But the picture's faded and time has stolen youth away
[01:24.45]With a spoken word that he thought he heard from her lips
[01:25.59]He felt another presence in the room
[01:26.79]He was filled with fear but filled with joy he arose
[01:27.81]And turned to face the image that he knew
[01:34.68]She stood before him and her hand reached out for his
[01:35.79]A peaceful light shone in her eyes
[01:36.51]She said she'd come to soothe him and someday they'd be as one
[01:37.68]She began to fade and her image disappeared
[01:38.61]So he was left alone to face the night
[01:39.42]Never in his life had he been so held in awe
[02:14.13]As he faced the apparition of his wife
[02:16.08]He stood before the window gazing at the grave
[02:33.93]And with a lightened heart he saw the first of dawn
[02:36.96]He knew that she was waiting that someday they'd be as one
