The evening came so quietly The village lights were glowing gold You smiled and pulled me close again Like we were never growing old Outside the wind moved through the trees The summer air was turning cold And for a while the world stood still Beside the fire’s gentle glow [Verse 2 – Male] We talked about the years gone by The roads we took, the towns we knew The songs we sang in crowded halls The nights that somehow led to you And though the seasons always change Some things remain when days are through A familiar voice, a steady hand A love that still feels true [Chorus – Duet] When the fires burn low tonight Stay with me until first light Let the old songs fill the room Like they always used to do And if morning comes too soon If the summer leaves too fast Hold my hand and sing once more Like this night was made to last [Verse 3 – Female] The candles flickered softly now While shadows danced along the wall No grand words were left to say Just quiet hearts that knew it all [Bridge – Duet] (gentle flute and mandolin) Time moves on like rivers run But some memories never fade Every song we leave behind Keeps a part of us the same [Final Chorus – Duet] When the fires burn low tonight Stay with me until first light Let the silence speak for us Where no lonely feeling grows When the fires burn low tonight Everything we need is close Just your voice and this old song And the love we’ve always known
