[EMERALD RAIN]I remember what once was and what can't be againIt's so hard daydreaming, knowing you can't go backI've been trying and reaching to relive our yesterdays,but they only live within our mindsMemories of long ago never seem to wash awayAlone I feel the falling rain, dreaming of what used to beSo much older now with so much yet to comeStill I find myself rememberingEmerald rain, hear my nostalgic serenadeLife brings us change, nothing remains the sameTomorrow brings a new while the past fades awayI still can't help holding on to what was lost,hoping one day I'll be whole againEmerald rain, singing the swan song of yesterdayOur world is drifting so much farther awayas we mourn the loss of our yesterdaysNow only nostalgia remainswith the return of the morning rainSongtexteAll that I want, all that I had,all that I gave but would never takeAll that I fought, all that I cried,and all that I kept deep down insideAll that I love, all that I hate,all of the things I did createAll that I was, all that I amIs it all that I'll be until the end?All that I was! All that I am![I REMEMBER WHEN...]I remember whenI had no worries and life was carefreeI remember whensummer lasted forever - no moreAnd I remember whenyou were there for me, but now you're long goneAnd I remember when I last saw your face,but nothing lasts foreverNow I'm serene and I've found peaceI am whole now and ready to start againI remember whenyou cried for me and protected my heartI remember whenlife was easy, how did things fall apart?And I remember whennothing mattered, now everything's changingAnd I remember whenI was near the end, but the end is so far awayNow I'm serene and I've found peaceI am whole now and ready to start againMemories no one can ever take away,even though time has changed the world around meMemories no one can ever take awayThey're not gone! No, they're not gone!Memories no one can ever take away,even though time has taken you from meMemories I'll keep forever so you will live onYou're not gone! No, you'll always live on![THROUGH OCTOBER SKIES]In this new day, now I'm awake for the first time,for the first day of the rest of my lifeSo strong and able to move on to live again todayTo live another way now with a clear mindYesterday was the last time before the pain had died,but today I'm alive, with the past far behindThrough October skies, my autumn's sunriseIt's the first sight of a new lightThrough my world inside, ethereal moonlightIt's the first sight of the rest of our livesAnother fiery world of yellow and redHow could I have seen it again, our beginning and our end?Autumn, I praise your painted sky that I adoreCelestial winds filling my soul once moreThrough October skies, my autumn's sunriseIt's the first sight of a new lightThrough a survivor's eyes, ethereal moonlightIt's the first sight of the rest of our livesIn this new life, the darkness has turned to lightThe fear has died and the strong have survivedNow after so much time, I can move onto live again today, another way,with the end so far awayThrough October skies, my autumn's sunriseIt's the first sight of a new lightThrough my world inside, ethereal moonlightIt's the first sight of the rest of our livesThen one day you came to meFate waited so many yearsIt knew that we were ready nowThe search is over now that I found your soulThis is our destinyThe rest will be history Aus Songtexte Mania
