Part of Life

I was unaware of
What is love
What is life
What is music of dawn.

I was unaware that it was he
Who made me laugh
Who gave me life
Who showed me dawn
Who hided the love

I saw the sparkle in eyes
but i never knew to express
hiding and seeking of happiness
was all around

I knew it was he
Who made me laugh
Who gave me the spirit
Who showed me the dawn,
But i was late.

Although i am miles away
He lives in my heart
He gives me spirit
He shows me the dawn
I know he loves me and
He knows he is still in my heart

Miles,miles and time can divide us
But the fire of love still keeps burning
Love never dies.

LOVE NEVER DIES
