Like smoke through canglelight memories come
Ghosts who now ask me what I might have done
In all the paths chosen and all those declined
Seems one of us left the other behind
And even though our lips never met
I kiss you dearly with every breath
For all of the words that we never exchanged
Somehow my life has been forever changed
Everything that I am
And all that I do
Little by little, with each note I sing
Is given away to you
Sometimes I feel just a little more strong
When I feel I've put all of myself in the song
But then when I sing it I can't help but see
It takes just a little bit more out of me
It seems now that hope is in such short supply
I can't help but cling to what little I find
When doubt falls upon what I thought to be true
What helps me is always the memory of you
Everything that I am
And all that I do
Little by little, with each note I sing
Is given away to you
I think of the times when you saw so clearly
What I thought was hidden in me
And you still miss what is plainly before you
If it's not what you want be
Like smoke through candlelight memories come
Ghosts who now ask me what I might have done
In all the paths chosen and all those declined
Seems one of us left the other behind
