Liebestraum
Have you heard the cello play?
It's Liebestraum, by Liszt, his way.
While in this tender melody...
it sets me free from time.
Fond memories of childhood past,
may be the ones that may not last.
But memories are precious, still,
the melody plays on...
Of sadness, ore the meaning,
it rings clearer to my mind.
Those waisted days of treasure...
all the gifts this life would measure.
To the music...
as it speaks unto my heart.
And playing every part...
Franz knew it all the while!
Just a picture of them sighing,
for the loved ones that are dying,
and it's Liebestraum
that brings it to my ear...
for me to hear.
From the song, "Liebestraum"
by Franz Liszt
