Twinkle Twinkle Fading Light

Walking on the city streets,
lights a-glow in empty beats;
Children smile in warm delight--
twinkle, twinkle fading light.

'Tis the season of the cold,
memories linger, red and bold;
My heart's got a frozen bite,
twinkle, twinkle fading light.

Love, oh love, plays us a role,
happiness was our only goal.
But, in time, we lose the fight,
twinkle, twinkle fading light.

Now the air is on a-breeze,
my soul wails in solemn lease.
I'll move on--I hope I might.
Twinkle, twinkle fading light.
