Memories and Candlelight ©️2026 - words and music by Sharon Stepler
When I look back upon the life we've shared So many years Come and gone I become uneasily aware The road from here Isn't long
Wind is blowing through the winter grass Sand slipping through the hour glass
I try to shake it off and look away Try to be here And move along No need to waste a single precious day On nagging fears And mournful songs
So I’ll keep it locked away inside As long as we can still enjoy the ride
Tomorrow isn’t ours to know Today is slipping out of sight But the fire is burning soft and low We have memories and candlelight And the stars are very beautiful tonight
Long ago we opened a new door Took a vow A leap of trust Every night I pray for one day more Another bow For the two of us
But come what may we have been blessed In all the ways that count we passed the test
Tomorrow isn’t ours to know Today is slipping out of sight But the fire is burning soft and low We have memories and candlelight And the stars are very beautiful tonight
Id there's such a thing as ever-after Someday we'll dance together through those stars
Tomorrow isn’t ours to know Today is slipping out of sight But the fire is burning soft and low We have memories and candlelight And the stars are very beautiful tonight

the musical phrase you use in the verses is really nice - it works well with the rather somber reflection on your mortalilty. I know your name from somewhere (muse?) but i dont remember your voice / music style before. If this is something put together for FAWM, it is absolutely awesome! I am bookmarking it
Thank you so much the kind comment! Yes, I was on the Muse for a while, but not for many years now. I do remember the name Fabkebab - hope you're dong well.

Very pretty - I would listen to this on my own just for pleasure. I especially the reverberant harmonized oohs. But imagery is also very nice and the words are nicely poetic. Nice!

Oh wow, this is so pretty, the harmonies hit just right. Really sweet lyrics, too. Lovely work!

You had me at those first "oohs"! I'm short on words at the moment, but this is beautiful :)
