Lyrics

I never dreamt it'd go so quickly
I never knew this was goodbye
I never heard the words you whispered
I never had a chance to cry

While the sun is setting slowly
Before the moon rises high
When the wind from the mountains
I will think of you and I

And the way you held my hand
The way you kissed my face
The way you held the door
You'd never let me take your place

The way you held my hand
The way you kissed my face
The way you held the door
You'd never let me take your place
Never take your place

Through the years we built a friendship
Through the years we built a home
Through the years we made a family
Through the years you made me whole

While the sun is setting slowly
Before the moon rises high
When the wind blows from the mountains
I will think of you and I

And the way you held my hand
The way you kissed my face
The way you held the door
You'd never let me take your place
Never take your place
