[English]
Tears will leave no stainTime will ease the pain
For every light that fades
Something beautiful remains
We're living in
a world of stars and dust
Between heaven and
all that surrounds us
We're travelers here,
spirits passing through
And the love we give,
is all that will endure
Hey now,
what we had is gone
But I still remember you
Just like
a rose after the rain
Something beautiful remains
Tears will leave no stain
Time will ease the pain
For every light that fades
Something beautiful remains
Now the darkness falls,
the sun's going down
One by one,
the stars are coming out
Tide comes in,
washes footprints from the sand
As one day ends,
a new day must begin
Hey now,
though we are apart
You're here forever in my dreams
Hey now,
love is lost and gained
(What you gonna do about it, what you gonna say)
Something beautiful remains
Tears will leave no stain
Time will ease the pain
For every light that fades
Something beautiful remains
And you wonder sometimes how we carry on
When you've lost the love you knew
But it's alright,
it's alright
To your own heart be true
Tears will leave no stain
Time will ease the pain
For every light that fades
Something beautiful remains
Tears will leave no stain
Time will ease the pain
For every light that fades
Something beautiful remains
