song lyrics
Written on the Wind (It is written on the wind) is our night of stolen bliss. Just like the dying leaves, we threw away our dreams, now they have quietly flown away. The promises we made to ourselves fade like a draft in the breeze, and so do our memories. Although you are away from me, we are not really apart because what is written in the wind is in my heart.
