Never Greater Shall Ever Come Again
Never Greater Shall Ever Come Again
A golden apple from a golden tree
that is what sweetness of youth was to me
Never happier have I ever been
never greater shall ever come again
Each new dawn greater mysteries unfold
we were too reckless, too wild and too bold
Where bright sunshine gave cause to dance and play
we in merriment lost ourselves each day
Nights brought promises of love, often more
crazy in romance we sought just to score
Now aged wisdom, such folly we see
carelessly, we wasted fruit from youth's tree
Never happier have I ever been
never greater shall ever come again
