Lyrics

I see your smiling face, by the open door

I observe your happy expression while standing near the open door.

There's the morning light

The daylight of the morning is present.

Shining in your hair, and in your eyes

There is a radiance from the morning light reflected in your hair and eyes.


And just a little way behind that smile of yours

Beyond your smile, I perceive another expression, distant and concealed.

I see another one, oh so far away

There's a hidden emotion far removed from the visible smile.

If only for one second, I could hold you close to me

If only I could have a brief moment to hold you close.

When the Master calls for me again

When a higher authority or fate beckons me once more.

There's nothing I can say, or I can do

I'm rendered speechless and powerless to influence the situation.


Goodbye, my love

A farewell, acknowledging that it's time to part, my affection.

Time has come to say farewell

It's the moment to bid adieu as time has dictated.

I hear the call again

Feeling the pull or summons once again.

Goodbye to the world

Saying goodbye to the world and all within it.

I've shouted for so long

I've been expressing this farewell for a considerable time.

Oh there's so much my love, that I can never say

There's much within my heart that I'll never be able to articulate.


And in a little while, in a little while

In a brief span, there won't be anything left to witness or experience.

There's nothing left to see

Implying a conclusion where there's nothing more to perceive.


As the years go by and I have not returned

As time passes without my return, and darkness surrounds.

And the night has come, falling all around

Nightfall envelops everything.

Ooh if you count the stars you'll know

If one counts the losses, they'll realize how many have occurred.

How many have gone out

The loss of light, possibly symbolizing loss or change.

And when the Master calls for me again

When destiny calls once more.

There's nothing that I can say

Once again, I'm left without any words or actions.

Or I can do

Unable to affect or change the circumstances.


Stand in the sun

Find solace in the beauty around, shutting out the external world.

Shut your eyes and feel the world

Savor the sensations of an ever-changing world by closing your eyes.

It's changing every day

Noting the constant evolution and transformation in life.

Goodbye my love

A recurring farewell, acknowledging departure from love.

Each day will seem so long

Each passing day will feel elongated without you.

Ooh there's so much I feel, that I can never say

There's a depth of emotion within that can't be expressed.


I can't see you

Unable to perceive or sense your presence anymore.

I can't feel you anymore

No longer feeling your existence, only a memory remains of the open door.

I've just a memory of that open door

All that remains is a recollection of the past, no current connection.
