In the moonlight
+
There was a time when I
When the shadows play
+
would have followed you
When the thought of what could happen
+
to the end of the earth
Takes your breath away
+
I was willing to share it all with you
Sighs and whispers
+
the love the hurt
Quiet laughter in the air
 
Unspoken invitations everywhere
 
  
In the moonlight
+
I've seen you in your dreams
All the words you say
+
were falling in the dust
Make it relatively easy
+
but I never stopped believing in you  
To be swept away
+
I always thought our love was strong enough
In the half-light
+
one you could hold on to oh
Can we trust the way we feel
 
Can we be sure that anything is real?
 
  
Stars keep secrets as they're wandering discreetly
+
You never see it coming
While the echoes of a song go drifting by
+
you just let it fly
We must be careful not to lose our way completely
+
on silent wings silent wings
Or the magic that we seek here
+
you can't hide what you feel inside
We can't be sure will be here
+
and the fire has left your eyes
 +
on silent wings
  
In the morning
+
I see us in our dreams
With the moon away
+
and we are dancing
And if in each other's arms
+
I can almost hear the song
Is where we're meant to stay
+
but the prayers they go unanswered
 +
between you and me oh it's just a memory
  
In the love light
+
You never see it coming
When our eyes have grown accustomed to the daylight
+
you just go separate ways
We'll see what waits for us to share
+
on silent wings silent wings
For all the things we've dreamed of in the moonlight
+
there's no more promises to break
Will be there
+
oh our love has slipped away
 +
on silent wings
 +
 
 +
You never see it coming
 +
but you know it has to end
 +
on silent wings silent wings
 +
and I will never be the same again
 +
I feel the whisper of the wind
 +
on silent wings
 +
 
 +
There's no more promises to break
 +
oh our love has slipped away
 +
on silent wings ooh oh
 +
on silent wings – never be the same again

silent wings silent wings

Lyrics

There was a time when I 
would have followed you 
to the end of the earth 
I was willing to share it all with you 
the love the hurt

I've seen you in your dreams 
were falling in the dust 
but I never stopped believing in you 
I always thought our love was strong enough 
one you could hold on to oh

You never see it coming 
you just let it fly 
on silent wings silent wings 
you can't hide what you feel inside 
and the fire has left your eyes 
on silent wings

I see us in our dreams 
and we are dancing 
I can almost hear the song 
but the prayers they go unanswered 
between you and me oh it's just a memory

You never see it coming 
you just go separate ways 
on silent wings silent wings 
there's no more promises to break 
oh our love has slipped away 
on silent wings

You never see it coming 
but you know it has to end 
on silent wings silent wings 
and I will never be the same again 
I feel the whisper of the wind 
on silent wings

There's no more promises to break 
oh our love has slipped away 
on silent wings ooh oh 
on silent wings – never be the same again 
silent wings silent wings
