This beautiful song about aging love is written and performed by the Slovenian musician Adi Smolar.
We both aged, our hair turned silver,
the strain of time weighs on our hearts,
we became enwraped in winter,
the seasons passed too fast and claimed their part.
The paths we take are getting shorter,
our goals in life already sought,
it's just us and us together,
she is everything I've got.
Gone and distant is the spring of our souls,
the leaves are falling and it's cold,
I remember when I told my girl "I love you so",
glad to have her hand to hold.
Gone and distant is the spring of our souls,
I think of youth and shed a tear,
but I would rather reminisce and be old
if it means I have her near.
We remember all our kisses,
they were plenty, they were sweet.
Being young is what she misses
and how the world was ours to beat.
But then we smile, look at each other,
happy that we met and stayed.
How nice it is that we lived life together
and love between us didn't fade.
Gone and distant is the spring of our souls,
the leaves are falling and it's cold,
I remember when I told my girl "I love you so",
glad to have her hand to hold.
Gone and distant is the spring of our souls,
I think of youth and shed a tear,
but I would rather reminisce and be old
if it means I have her near.
Darkness setting on our visions,
"let's go to bed" she says to me,
she holds my arm, we walk in rhythm,
feeling soreness in our knees.
In bed I feel her sweet embraces,
her tender touch that I obey
helps me lose the bitter thought of
who'll be left all alone one day.
Gone and distant is the spring of our souls,
the leaves are falling and it's cold,
I remember when I told my girl "I love you so",
glad to have her hand to hold.
Gone and distant is the spring of our souls,
I think of youth and shed a tear,
but I would rather reminisce and be old
if it means I have her near.
