when on that day the wind did rise
and from a single rose each petal dropped
one by one upon the ground
i felt as if my heart would break
still i held on tightly to the love
that i felt i would never know
and in this time and place that is now
i feel your embrace upon me
it holds me and loves me
just as you always have and will
no mere gesture by the fates that be
can bring down a love so strong as this
not one act ... nor deed
can take away what i feel
and as i gathered the petals
one by one from the ground
i spread them were i might see them
when i wake and before i go to sleep
gentle breezes touch me
and i know it is you
and even my steps are lighter
because i know
a love as great as ours
shall endure
it's going to be alright
yes it will baby
because in the end all lovers
win and smile and walk into the sunset
