Remember When

Remember when life seemed easy And the dance came so seamless; Music seemed to pour from the sky And summer nights were soft and dreamless. Remember when you and I together Waltzed step and step in love; And conflict and rancor were unknown; We moved together while stars danced above. Remember when a smile would mend All the tensions of the working day; And the sound of your voice harkened joy; We never thought to censure what to say. Remember when our memories were sweet And separation meant only a few hours apart; Those days have passed, my dear; What remains is only my broken heart.
