Forever Lyrics

I stand alone in the darkness
the winter of my life came so fast
memories go back to my childhood
to days I still recall

Oh how happy I was then
there was no sorrow there was no pain
walking through the green fields
sunshine in my eyes

I'm still there everywhere
I'm the dust in the wind
I'm the star in the northern sky
I never stayed anywhere
I'm the wind in the trees
would you wait for me forever ?

I think this song is about a man that has died. He says the "winter" of his life has come, meaning that the end of his life has come, as winter is the end of the year. He is saying that he is the dust in the wind, the stars in the sky and the wind in the trees. In other words, his spirit will live forever. This is one of the few songs that nearly made me cry when I first heard it.

Jutah is very much correct. Timo Tolkki composed this song for his father who passed away, and it's most likely about remembering the good times they shared and that he will always remember him.

i agreed the songs is about the childhood of the character (wich names is unknow in this case) but he remebers his childhood when he (form what i understood) its about to die, and he has a flashback of his life on that moment

I completely agree with Jutah. The last verse is about him being everywhere around us.

This song is so beautiful.
