For the Heart I Once Had

For The Heart I Once Had - Nightwish

Heaven today is but a way

To a place I once called home.

Heart of a child, one final sigh

As another love goes cold.

Once my heart the beats to rhythm of the falling snow

blackened below.

The river now flows - a stream on molten virgin snow.

For the heart I'll never have,

For the child forever gone

The music flows because it longs

For the heart I once had.

Living today without a way

To understand the weight of the world.

Faded and torn, old and forlorn

My weak and hoping heart.

For the child, for the night

For the heart I once had

I believe and foresee

Everything I could ever be.

For the heart I'll never have,

For the child forever gone

The music flows because it longs

For the heart I once had.

Time will not heal a dead boy's scars,

Time will kill.

For the heart I'll never have,

For the child forever gone

The music flows because it longs

For the heart I once had.
