Days Gone By

Days Gone By

This morning I walked
 to our park
 one last time-
 to wipe your memory
 from my mind

 I sat on the swings and wondered what happened to the fun we used
 to share...
 Where did the time go,
 that I forgot how you
 needed your freedom
 so desperately

 I didn't mean to
 make you feel I was
 trying to steal it away
 It's just that our laughter
 made me feel so young again

 and I liked giving
 my time to you
 Now tonight has caught me
 on the park bench,
 where our names have been
 engraved on the seat...

 whispering yours
 and wishing you hadn't had
 to go so soon
 And the park that was once
 only ours to dream or
 make love to the sky-
 will be a thousand other lovers'-
 and only ours to remember
 the one time we loved.
