Lamplight Symphony - Kansas[00:00:01]
On a winter's night stars are cold and bright in the sky[00:00:33]
The slumber of the earth is pure and deep[00:00:40]
From a distant wood drifts the echo of a beast[00:00:46]
The old man stirs and awakens in the night[00:00:53]
He stands before his window gazing at the grave[00:00:59]
Forgotten dreams are flashing through his weary mind[00:01:05]
And though his life is empty he pretends that she's still there[00:01:11]
With hunger in his soul he yearns for life and love gone by[00:01:24]
With memories his one and only joy[00:01:31]
With all he has to give he would give to bring back the life[00:01:37]
And raise the one who lies beneath the snow[00:01:44]
He lights a lamp and looks at pictures of the past[00:01:49]
The faces of their youth still glow with new found love[00:01:55]
But the picture's faded and time has stolen youth away yeah yeah[00:02:01]
With a spoken word that he thought he heard from her lips[00:02:21]
He felt another presence in the room[00:02:26]
He was filled with fear but filled with joy he arose[00:02:33]
And turned to face the image that he knew[00:02:38]
She stood before him and her hand reached out for his[00:02:45]
Peaceful light shone in her eyes[00:02:52]
She said she'd come to soothe him and someday they'd be as one[00:02:58]
She began to fade and her image disappeared[00:06:58]
So he was left alone to face another night[00:07:05]
But never in his life had he been so held in awe[00:07:11]
As he faced the apparition of his wife[00:07:18]
He stood before the window gazing at the grave[00:07:24]
And with a lightened heart he saw the first of dawn[00:07:30]
He knew that she was waiting that someday they'd be as one[00:07:36]
