As the night is leaving silently retreating down an empty hall Suddenly a stirring finally recurring where I let it fall Following the wanderings of a dream a dream that keeps my soul alive Believing in an open sky believing in a love Dancing with a stranger careless of the danger there within his smile While the dew was forming breathing in the morning like a sleeping child If the memory of the light should fade horizons reaching cold and blue Until your heart is free to fly then I will keep the sun for you Until you touch the open sky then I will keep the sun for you Until we never say goodby then I will keep the sun for you
