Oh you lonesome dreamer
Wandering down the memory lane,
Yearning in vain
So convinced that yesterday's always sweeter
You're lost in the past
So let me get you through
The deceiving layers of time
Let me wake you from your illusions to see
That there's nothing to fear
Release yourself

Precious moments passing by
Thirty frames a second
Funny how we get stuck in the past
Memories sweet and gilded
Preventing us from seeing
The present day

Oh sweet confuser
Wish you could leave the burden behind
It's tearing you apart
And thoughts are running in vicious circles
You're lost in the past
So let me help you out
Distraction is clouding your way
Let me wake you from your illusions to see
That there's nothing to fear
Release yourself

Precious moments flying by
While we're recollecting
Wondering why we get stuck in the past
Always contemplating
Instead of daring to face the day

Let me help you out
Let me show you the way
Let me help you out
To dare to face the day
Release yourself

Precious moments passing by
Thirty fbames a second
Funny how we get stuck in the past
Always contemplating

Precious moments flying by
While we're recollecting
Wondering why we get stuck in the past
Instead of daring to face the day
Precious moments passing by

The Last Dance
Within Temptation
@[Kahiara:35260] Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.
