Many, Many Long Years Ago
I was young after the world war
Always hungry, so wanting more,
But I had faith, that's what I know.
Many, many long years ago.
Schools reopened and books I bought,
Manners, thoughts, writing I was taught,
Through life I hovered to and fro,
Many, many long years ago.
Finished all school, parties were held,
Met a bright girl, with love I swelled
She I adored, life was a glow
Many, many long years ago.
Married in love, we had a child,
But life with death left me beguiled
Now that she's gone, I feel that blow
Many, many long years ago.
