A Trip To the Past

In my dreams I'd like to journey back To that little town of our youth, To see if my sweet memories Are founded on the truth. If it's true skies were ever blue And honeyed days forever bright. The moon was never less than full While stars lit up the night. I've forgottten all the empty times Except enchanted days with you, When you first said you loved me and I knew I loved you too. I will know it when I find it, That magic time from long ago. Has our old town saved it for me, That glow we used to know? I'll be walking down the same streets Where you and I strolled hand in hand. Will I find us there together In our own fairyland? I hope you'll be waiting for me In the confectionary store, To share chocolate ice-cream sodas As in the days of yore. My big, locked box of memories Is packed and going along. I will know it's time to open When I hear our own love song. The sad years since God took you Will from memory fade away When I'm back to when our love was new And know I'm meant to stay. This is the journey I would take If I could find my way And a magic ride to get there To that long ago sweet day.
