“Steal the Light from the Trees” by Nigel Nicholls reflects on lost love and the pain of emotional separation. The enduring love contrasts with grief that drains the world’s beauty, symbolized by fading nature. It explores themes of heartbreak, vulnerability, and love that lingers despite loss.
Looking at your sleeping face
I yearn for your tender embrace
Time can be cruel
It stole my heart
My heart was meant only for you
Pure and simple and true
Time has a way
To shatter our dreams
Steal the light from the trees
Sap the strength from the breeze
Whatever you may do
I still love you
Still love you
My heart was not made of stone
I dreamt of your touch alone
Now that’s all gone
I wonder if I can go on
Steal the light from the trees
Sap the strength from the breeze
Whatever you may do
I still love you
I still love you
