Once There Was a Love
There was a time not so long ago
When lyrics of love embraced my soul
And I was a recipient of hugs and kisses,
As we walked together along the shore.
We fell into each other’s arms on the sand
The moonlight sang to us romantically,
I shall always remember your fond embrace
When we giggled, discovering intimacy.
Those days will linger forever in my heart
Like the haunting of our favorite melody,
And sing it I shall from time to time, my dear,
Sometimes I sing it to you all night long.
“Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing,” I know,
For I experienced it the first time with you,
And never again will I know how it feels
Until I am holding you in my waiting arms.
