Let The Years Be Gentle - LUNA VALE
Ooh
let the years
be gentle
I know I cannot keep the mornings
I know I cannot stop the change
Some people live inside my memory
but they no longer know my name
I have lost a few old versions
I have left some doors behind
Still I carry what they gave me
like a small light in my life
I am not asking to be younger
I am not begging time to stay
I only hope it leaves me softer
than the things it takes away
Let the years be gentle
if they have to pass me by
Let them take what they must take
but leave some kindness in my eyes
Let the years be gentle
I have learned to say goodbye
I do not need to go back home
I just want to keep my heart alive
I will still miss the slower summers
I will still miss the younger faces
I will still call certain rooms home
even from different places
But I can bless the life I have now
without pretending nothing hurts
Growing up can take so much
and still give something back to us
Maybe peace is not arriving
Maybe peace is what I choose
when I stop asking every season
to return what I had to lose
Let the years be gentle
if they have to pass me by
Let them take what they must take
but leave some kindness in my eyes
Let the years be gentle
I have learned to say goodbye
I do not need to go back home
I just want to keep my heart alive
To the child I used to carry
To the woman I became
I am sorry for the hurry
I am proud of us the same
Let the years be gentle
if they have to pass me by
Let them take what they must take
but leave some kindness in my eyes
Let the years be gentle
I have learned to say goodbye
I do not need to go back home
I just want to keep my heart alive
Ooh
let the years be gentle
keep my heart alive
