Verse 1)
True love gone, like leaves on gray trees,
Turning from green to gold and to red,
Like summer days of shimmering heat
That drifted away before my eyes.
This life of mine, the heart deep inside,
Feels changes rushing in from all sides.
(Chorus)
Oh, what do I do to take the next step,
So careful not to stumble or fall out of step?
The world I once knew revolved around her,
And with it my dreams are drifting away…
Oh, how do I find my way through the ache,
When every tomorrow still carries her name?
(Verse 2)
Like slow-moving currents in deep hidden streams,
My dreams slipped away before they were seen.
What’s left is an emptiness, vast and severe,
Like burning sand in a desert so clear—
It scorched my eyes and it bleached my soul,
Till I felt like a man who was never whole.
(Chorus)
Oh, what do I do to take the next step,
So careful not to stumble or fall out of step?
The world I once knew revolved around her,
And with it my dreams are drifting away…
Oh, how do I find my way through the ache,
When every tomorrow still carries her name?
(Bridge)
Who is this stranger I’ve slowly become—
A man who let all of his bright dreams go numb?
Into that desert my life had decayed,
Just emptiness—nothing left to persuade…
Then you arrived with the brightness I craved,
A light for the mind that was endlessly blue.
(Verse 3)
You walked in my life like dawn chasing night,
Soft as the first winter snowflake in flight.
Into the void where my spirit had stayed,
You brought gentle comfort— “You’re not alone,” you conveyed.
(Chorus)
Oh, what do I do to take the next step,
So careful not to stumble or fall out of step?
The world I once knew revolved around her,
And with it my dreams are drifting away…
Oh, how do I find my way through the ache,
When every tomorrow still carries her name?
(Outro)
Into this darkness where no light had shone,
Into this room I had locked on my own—
You brought your love in its every bright hue.
No wonder I never could see it was you—
The colors that suddenly bloomed all around,
The words that you spoke, the touch I had found.
In dreams that I carried, your hand never strayed,
You opened my heart, let my true soul be saved…
And spread before me a blanket of gold.
