The sparkling radiance that once shone so bright
Be now forever taken from grasp and sight
Nothing in the present can bring back the hour
The splendor of our love, the glory in the flower
Soothing thoughts in your mind bloom like spring
Out of my anguish and human suffering
Beyond the red and the black and the blue
What you've stolen from me wasn't given to you
More and more with each day I've cried
The flower has faded, wilted and died
To the face that's looked through death of years
Deliver relief from harsh torment and tears
Can't help but grieve, yet I must try to find
Strength in the remnant of what's left behind
Like the last single seed falling flat on the ground
To then grow and flourish, create new life abound
