The highest mountain, as clear as you can see
As clear as your mind once was
As clear as my mind once was
I'm in that cabin at night inside my dreams
As warm as my heart once was
When we were together, you and me
My faintest memories, these pictures of you
They came back in black and white
I remember greens and blues
The flame is gone now
Who could've known it would expire?
I close my eyes and I remember
When these embers were a fire
I felt a presence there, there was music in those trees
We had each other
We had private seats to a forest symphony
You lit a candle and stole my heart
In that fleeting moment my future wasn't shaded so dark
You lit a candle and stole my heart
And in December, our cabin's covered with snow
But the fire burns within
Our fire burns within
