Before my eyes pictures appear
From long ago but still so clear.
With skies of blue wind in my hair
We shared a moment without a single care.
I still remember one summer’s day
She held my hand to lead the way
And showed me treasures love in her smile
We strolled the meadows and sang a lullaby.
Wild flowers were in bloom
Wearing a crown of dew
And sunrays on the leaves
Danced in and out of view...
Hear the stream that’s flowing by,
Swallows flying in the sky,
All the beauties of the land
I began to understand
On that day she held my hand...
Brilliant colours all around,
Million wonders to be found,
While the perfume in the air
Takes my senses unawares
Giving joy without compare...
Her tender voice whispered a sound
And made my heart begin to pound.
A children’s rhyme rings in my ears
Captured in my mind to dissipate all fears.
Roaming in my dream,
Feeling as I did before...
Safe within my mem’ries,
Opening that secret door...
Brilliant colours all around,
Million wonders to be found,
Thousand graceful butterflies
Rise to fill this paradise
As they catch me by surprise...
Hear the stream that’s flowing by,
Swallows flying in the sky,
Endless haunting melodies
Spreading mystic poetry
To enlight my fantasy...
There’s a rainbow in my heart
Even though we had to part,
Shining on forever bright
Like a diamond in the night
Always there to make things right...
