close the window

the sun's too bright

a summer's shade, hear from hell

burn the candle

when it's gone, don't cry

wax and wick, flesh and bone

they pass in time

i can hope and i can wish

that tree will stay and give me shade

and i can hope and i can wish

that tree will stay and give me shade

my love said forever to me

but now forever's gone

but the tree still gives me shade

leave the heat

pray the shade will stay

each summer's day, each life's love

they pass in time

hold each thought

they can surely fade

or melt away

on a july day

burn the candle

when it's gone, don't cry

wax and wick, flesh and bone

they pass in time
