Tales of a Love That Was
When shall I ever be well?
Like yesterday again?
Today which is so gross?
Or tomorrow which brings remorse?
I remember how time whiled
And the wind blew lyrically with your sighs
And the tune of how your voice rise
Oh! I forgot all otherwise
Out here in the dew
Out here with a brew
In the room
Under the moon
All I feel is you
Nothing more, but you
I remember all of you
And forgot all of others
Because you are more and they are few
Love, isn't it?
Yes! Love it is called
That single comprehensive word
Heavier than the whole world
What do I feel?
How do I know
Like a touch of snow
Like the rainbow bestowed
We have walked the streets
And held hands all over
We have sat side by side
And discussed all the earth hath
Good bye!
To you, to us
I just want to say goodbye
To everything we have been
I still can't forget all I've seen
Heard, said and done
But goodbye to our love that was
I still loved you like yesterday
And surely tomorrow I will again
But goodbye to our days
Goodbye to our era
An era that's been
I watch in silence
Very helpless
As time while away with suspense
And the clock ticked off in pretence
O! How can I say
How much I wish our era will stay
That beautiful alluring face
Which makes the whole world at you gaze
And that fascinating smile
Enchanting my heart to run thousand miles
And the deep black eyes
Fashioned with a tinsel scarf
Unforgettable is that skin of yours, with its incomparable tan
Which could enchant any man
Today, here again, I point out my arm
But there is none to clasp my palm
An emptiness dominated my heart on your departure
Even though the wind, the moon, the sun, and the leaves do assure
That over there, out on a beach, like I do all nights through, you are watching my face on stars
And trying to heal from my heart all the scars
Don't long, don't pine, for what is forever yours (me)
Because someday, I will come, and become again a part of your world
Then forever, pray, that I be your reward
And for eternity you will own my love
