Everything was on fire
Anticipation on our tongues
Made it easy to remember
Didn't have long to be young

And the moon beckoned our eyes
Mine got lost along the way
By an ever growing picture
If I gave myself away

I couldn't remember
All the lives I had lived

It was your beauty that caught my attention
It was your kindness that made me stay
But for all my growing affections
It was your soul I fell in love with that day
It was your soul I fell in love with that day

You've seen the me that I've hated
And I have seen the you that you're not
You just keep staring at the picture
And I'm avoiding the clock

Oh but our rope is one that is braided
It has stood the test of weight
And though the fire may have faded
That moon still shines like it did on that day
It was your beauty that caught my attention
It was your kindness that made me stay
But for all my growing affections
It was your soul I fell in love with that day
It was your soul I fell in love with that day

I couldn't remember
All the lives I had lived

It was your beauty that caught my attention
It was your kindness that made me stay
But for all my growing affections
It was your soul I fell in love with that day
It was your soul I fell in love with that day
It is your soul I am in love with this day
