Love, Long Ago
There was a time you were in each of my dreams. That time was long, long ago.
A gentle breeze blown on a warm summer day brings you to mind, even though...
Even though you had left me, leaving me a heart broken.
When no word was spoken my dream came to an end.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Blow on soft wind, bring her to mind once again...Memories of love, long ago.
A gentle touch blessed with a glance from her eyes told me that she loved me so.
We loved more than a lifetime, and lived more than each moment.
Moments melt to memories, like snowflakes in the sun.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Goodbye soft breeze; leave me alone once again. Gone is my love, long ago.
No more a voice, whispering words soft and kind. From once cheerful eyes tears now flow.
How will I find another? Who could ever replace her?
Oh --- the empty feeling! Like space.... so void and cold.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Goodbye my love -- I cannot live in my dreams... Dreams of a love, long ago.
