Afterglow

Paints you still on sluggish dreams
A fire light on the foothill side
Moves on still, as it seems
The shadows grew and the warmth it cried

A magic wrought of dying dreams
A wizard light that creeps and glows
Painting hills and sluggish streams
In tints of gold and rose

I'd like to leave an echo
I'd like to leave an afterglow
I'd like to leave an echo
I'd like to leave an afterglow

Staining the fire the cherry-snow
Lighting our hearts with sudden flame
As if the love of long ago
Back from its ashes came

Rose-flushed and radiant
Joy and hope are born anew
Even the darting swallow's wing
Has caught its glowing hue
Soon the horizon will hide today
The heart is wise but won't let go
It's not love that lights our way
Only its afterglow

I'd like to leave an echo
I'd like to leave an afterglow
I'd like to leave an echo
I'd like to leave an afterglow
I'd like to leave an echo
I'd like to leave an afterglow
I'd like to leave an echo
I'd like to leave an afterglow
