[by Michael Kiske]

There were times I could always tell
Your every mood, your every worry
Now you're just a book on my shelve
No more pages to turn

So why did I keep on holding on?
I never knew if I could do better...
I've had thoughts of just letting go
But how should I know?

Your cries always break my stride
But I'm afraid to let you fall
How should I know?
You say when I'm not around
That all the passion will be gone

Like the Setting Sun
We close the day when nights begun
Like the Setting Sun
We know when all's been said and done
Let us brush aside our fears

With a smile I can stop the tears
For just a while to let the wounds heal
Did you ever stop to think how I feel?
Yes it hurts to be mistaken

Your cries always break my stride
But I'm afraid to let you fall
How should I know?
You say when I'm not around
That all the passion will be gone

Like the Setting Sun
We close the day when nights begun
Like the Setting Sun
We know when all's been said and done
Let us brush aside our fears

(Does it make you wonder?)
(Does it make you wonder?)

Like the Setting Sun
We close the day when nights begun
Like the Setting Sun
We know when all's been said and done
Let us brush aside our fears
(Like the Setting Sun)
Oh, I want to be close to you
Put an end to all our fears
