Looking Backward

There is no going back To those days of love, now past. Though memory can take me there, I miss your loving arms. To those days of love, now past My heartstrings stretch forever. I miss your loving arms. My future lies behind me. My heartstrings stretch forever To happy days of yore. My future lies behind me. I pine the then be now. To happy days of yore When our love was young and new, I pine the then be now And I’m in your arms again. When our love was young and new, Though memory can take me there And I’m in your arms again, There is no going back. For Paula Swanson's "Back" contest
