In echoed steps I walked across an empty dream,
D                                   C            Bm
I looked across this world, there`s no-one to be seen.
D                             Bm
This empty feeling turned and quietly walked away,
D                            G9
I saw no warmth in life - no love was in my eyes.
D                           Bm
I stared a century thinking this will never change,
D                          C               Bm
As I hesitated time rushed onwards without me.
D                                  Bm      
Too scared to break the spell, too small to take a fall,
D                          G9                             A9
But the Absolute luck is - love is in our hearts!
