Lyrics[edit]
I remember the days of summer
We were so close together
You were humming the songs of silence
Sweetly plucking the harp of wind
Every moment was sacred and mystic
We were near to the shore of eternity
The days are gone, and will never come back
You were a half of me, long time ago
Life can never be perfect without you
But I’m still on my way to the future
For I remember your sweet song in my mind
To the lost horizon, I’m calling your name
Again and again
Though the night is so dark
A new dawn is so close to me
Sun will come and shine on all seeds of hope
Bud and bloom
I remember the days of winter
You were sitting beside me
All alone in the shuttered places
We were waiting for thawing day
Every moment was sacred and mystic
We were hoping the night was eternal
The days are gone, and so far away
I’m still singing your sweet song for long
Long windy nights
