We were promised the world
In rings and stones
The gift of love that overflows
But the journey is razor-thin
It cuts deep—sometimes
It ends before it begins
I see you smiling across the room
Light of my life, a fleeting bloom
Hypnotized, draw me in closer to you
This empty house
This hollow home
The dreams we shared
Have come to a close
When the lights go out
And you're already gone
All that's left
Is what could have been
And what nobody knows
I see the kids running all around
Causing havoc all over town
They're like shooting stars
Fast and bright
Moments of magic streaming
Through-out the night
Now go to bed
I'm turning out the light
We were promised the world
In rings and stones
The gift of love that overflows
But the journey is razor-thin
It cuts deep—sometimes
It ends before it begins
I see you smiling across the room
Light of my life, a fleeting bloom
Hypnotized, draw me in closer to you
This empty house
This hollow home
The dreams we shared
Have come to a close
When the lights go out
And you're already gone
All that's left is what could
Have been—and what nobody knows
There's hope, joy
And love enough to go around
It's the thought that keeps
Me safe and sound
Now the walls feel cold
And the nights grow long
Your memory lingers
A timeless song
Just a stroll down
The road for which I'm bound
I'll see you
When I lay upon the ground
I'm left thinking of you
All these thoughts I can't save
Left my hope in darkness
I'll take it all to the grave
We were promised the world
In rings and stones
The gift of love that overflows
But the journey is razor-thin
It cuts deep—sometimes
It ends before it begins
I see you smiling across the room
Light of my life, a fleeting bloom
Hypnotized, draw me in closer to you
This empty house
This hollow home
The dreams we shared
Have come to a close
When the lights go out
And you're already gone
All that's left
Is what could have been
And what nobody knows
