In Memories of You

I gave my heart, I gave my soul oh valley green and true doin’ the best I can, but it seemed not good enough for you. I tried so hard, so hard to please the decision to leave the outlook was bleak, in dire straits another life to seek. I slipped away, degrees in passing on that epic journey glanced at foreign lands, to the end of the earth paradise and golden sands. Many years have passed by it was the ultimate conclusion. Yet! Am I still a dreamer maybe still a fool? When my mind is heavy in memories of you. © Harry J Horsman 2013
