The red orb in the sky, once bright, is falling
Descending to where sky and sea meet
And the voice of sea and dying sun is calling
For me to rest awhile my wandering feet
So I pause, raise my tired head and gaze
And see endless shoreline stretch on into blurry haze
As my eyes fall on a small flower in the sand, half-buried
A shaft of sorrow and loneliness tears through my heart
Imprinted in my heart are those memories, still so vivid
Again I painfully ask myself, why did we part?
Oh, why am I watching this breathtaking sunset alone?
Why can’t we both be here, caressed by the breeze?
Twas here the seeds of our wonderful love were sown
Under the sinking sun’s rays and the sea-wind’s wheeze
In my mind I see again the image of your lovely face
Your blushes like the sky’s glow at the dawn of day
I long to be encompassed once more in your warm embrace
And though tis not how it is, I wish it was this way:
With us walking along the beach, hand in hand
The golden rays of sunset shimmering in your hair
So pleasurable to walk together, barefoot in the soft sand
Such a beautiful and passionate moment for us to share
Then as the sun disappears, to sit together under the old palm, side by side
And watch the twinkling stars materialize in the night skies
Holding each other close, serenaded by the lapping of the tide
A thousand silent love-words exchanged each time we gaze into each other’s eyes
There we can sink into the depths of our love
in each other’s presence, in our tender kisses
With none to witness our rapture but the pale moon above
And none to hear our whispers but the nightingale and cicadas
I miss you so much, it pains my heart
In love with you I would again fall
Come, let us no more part
