Stolen Dreams

Do you ever recall the times we played together Do you even remember the jokes we told one another Maybe you think about those endless summer nights And with the easy flow of the river the fireflies delights I know you cannot forget our shared secrets When my elder brother would look for us so vexed When we raced all day and ate melted ice creams at noon When we swam in the ocean so inviting and warm Do you remember the years we grew so close Do you think about the day you gave me that rose I still remember the time you told me you were going And you promised me forever under the great old oak And when summer drew to a close our sad goodbye When you went away never to come back my way
