in the afterglow of the day
in the twilight hours before the night
in my mind the memories of you
twirl and spin in love's delight


in the afterglow of the day
in the quiet hours before the night
in my heart the memories of you
swoop and soar on winged flight


in the afterglow of the day
in the soft, grey hours before the night
in my soul the memories of you
fade like dying firelight
