Of my album of days gone by
And see faces that are gone now

Johnny’s going home today
His glory days are past
His buddies stand at attention
Eyes tearful and downcast
The sound of taps is softly heard
The mournful tune rings true

Just when I'm happy
And things go right
And I can count on
The moon and stars
Each night
Fate steps in
To mock me again...
Here comes the rain!

With the Jewels he bought
He...

Snores so loud he wakes the dead
You can't go over...

Who knows…amidst the cold of winter
When spring is just a memory
And her flowers all decay
Leaving just a trace of
A once glorious bouquet…
That love lies dormant in the snow
Determined to survive!

He courted her for many years
Said she was the one for him
She looked like a goddess he said
In the moonlight, tall and slim
No one else would ever compare
Yes…she was the one for him!

Midnight dreamer;
I am standing in the flames of morrow;
Flesh clings to my joints;
I am on search for tomorrow;
I can’t feel my soul, soul, soul

Shadow dancing, fires cooling out
Daylight laughter
Night...
