Embers in the Night

by Candice Jarrett

My cheeks are frozen but still feel your kiss
Where summer roses used to sit
Snow is falling like September leaves
The days we’ve lost I ache to see

But some things never change
Time flies but one thing stays
Outside my colors are fading
But in my heart it’s still spring

December starlight never seemed so bright
We burn like embers in the night
Though shadowed creases creep across my face
You swear to me I’ve stayed the same

Babe

Some things will never change
Time flies but one thing stays
Outside my colors are fading
But in my heart it’s still spring
In my heart it’s still spring

The watch we wound as it unwinds
The second hand moves double time
Summer days once seemed so long
Now we wonder where they’ve gone

But here we’ll never change
Inside this sweet refrain
Between these ivory keys
We’ll spend eternity
Our love lives in a melody

And here the lovebirds sing
As heaven’s listening
My Love, the world keeps on turning
But in my heart it’s still spring
In my heart it’s still spring

December starlight never seemed so bright
We burn like embers in the night
