The stars refuse to shine
Since you're no longer mine,
No crescent moon above,
Without your love

Afterglow,
The spark of a love that's lost,
Afterglow,
As pale as the wintry frost,

Long ago our love was a fountain of fire,
You filled my soul with one desire,

Afterglow,
No longer my heart will dance,
Burning low,
The embers of our romance,
Still I know,
Those embers would burst into flame,
If you but called my name
