We're living in a world of stars and dust 
Between heaven and all that surrounds us 
We're travellers here, spirits passing through 
And the love we give is all that will endure1 
Hey now, what we had is gone 
But I still remember you 
Just like a rose after the rain 
Something beautiful remains 

Tears will leave no stain 
Time will ease the pain 
For every life that fades 
Something beautiful remains 

Now the darkness falls, the sun's going down 
And one by one, the stars [bad word] out 
 [bad word] in, washes footprints from the sand 
As one day ends, a new day must begin 
Hey now, love is lost and gained 
(what you gonna do about it, what you gonna say) 
Something beautiful remains 

Tears will leave no stain 
Time will ease the pain 
For every life that fades 
Something beautiful remains 

And you wonder sometimes how we carry on 
When you've lost the love you knew 
But it's alright, it's alright 
To your own heart be [bad word]
