Your voice is getting soft
The music turning low
The day is fading out
The hour getting slow

It’s just a silly phase It won’t last long
You just work it through You’ll come out pretty strong
Life will find it’s ways The power in a pause
You’ve learned a thing or two The sotto voce force

It’s the kind of sadness that falls off when you move on

Sometimes you hurt a leg
Sometimes you hurt an arm
Sometimes you hurt your Self
Sometimes you hurt your heart

Sometimes you hurt a leg It needs a rest
Sometimes you hurt an arm It needs a rest
Sometimes you hurt your Self It needs a rest
Sometimes you hurt your heart It needs a rest

It’s the kind of sadness that falls off when you move on

Candles fading out
I still sense a light
Nocturnal fireflies
It’s a sparkle in your eyes

I wonder if it’s you or just that face
The one your mother wore when we were kids
That you tried to ignore that happy face
I finally conclude it’s really you

You will be ok – I swear that
You will be ok – I swear that
You will love again
You will love again
Love thy neighbor, and he might love you more
