For the Heart I Once Had

Heaven today is but a way To a place I once called home Heart of a child, one final sigh As another love goes cold Once my heart beats to the rhythm of the falling snow blackened below The river now flows - a stream on molten virgin snow For the heart I'll never have For the child forever gone The music flows because it longs For the heart I once had Living today without a way To understand the weight of the world Faded and torn, old and forlorn My weak and hoping heart For the child, for the night For the heart I once had I believe and foresee Everything I could ever be Time will not heal a dead boy's scars Time will kill --- For the Heart I Once Had - Nightwish
