[English]

Tears will leave no stain

Time 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
