Lyrics
Nolan: ''Over, I can’t believe it’s over. I can’t believe the love I left to show some other day.''

Listen, I hope that you can hear me as I kneel down and pray with the love I meant to say.

Shadows, you took away the shadows, before you life was black and white, though tonight the room’s gone gray.

Golden, all the love you gave was golden, gold that I would gladly pay to show the love I meant to say.

Oh, music, you made me hear such music, without you here to guide me, I fear our song will fly away.

Sorry, that’s the word I wanna sing to you, the other word is stay to hear the love I meant to say.
