The Wind Can't Take You Away

The Wind Can't Take You Away [Verse 1] The evening wind is calling your name Through empty streets that still feel the same I close my eyes and you're standing there Like nothing ever disappeared The moonlight falls across my room And brings me back to nights with you I thought that time would set me free But every memory still follows me [Pre-Chorus] I tell myself I'm finally letting go But every time the cold wind blows There's something that my heart still knows I may have lost your hand But I never lost your ghost [Chorus] The wind can't take you away It only brings your memory back again The moon can't light up yesterday Or show me where our forever went I've cried a thousand nights Trying to wash your love away But every tear just reminds me Some feelings never fade The wind can't take you away **You're still living somewhere in my heart** [Verse 2] I heard somebody makes you smile And you've been happy for a while I said, “I'm glad you're doing fine” Then cried alone that same night I never called I never asked I learned to leave you in the past But every song we used to know Still takes me where I shouldn't go [Pre-Chorus] Maybe we were young Maybe we were scared Maybe love was there But we forgot to care And now the words I couldn't say Are all that's left When night becomes another day [Bridge] If I could stand before you Just one more time I wouldn't ask you To come back into my life I'd only thank you For every beautiful night Then hide my tears And whisper goodbye [Final Chorus] The wind can't take you away No matter how the seasons change I've tried so hard to forget your face But my heart remembers everything Maybe someday I'll finally say your name without the pain Maybe someday Our memories will feel like gentle rain The wind can't take you away But tonight I'll let the silence stay And if we ever meet again I won't ask if you still love me I'll smile and say— *It's good to see you again* Then walk away Before you see my tears [Outro] The evening wind still blows But tonight For the first time *I let you go.*
