so long ago
i would play in the hay
and i didn't even know
just how beautiful
was the day
and so long ago
with a wonderful girl
we would comfortably lay
and i didn't even know
how beautiful was the day
so very long ago
now
these memories remain
and i cry these painful tears
because during that beautiful day
i forgot to say
just how much
i love you
and baby girl
i want you to know
and so
i let you be free
and the memories i have of you
i hold so close to my heart
and they bring me to my knees
in such agonizing pain
and yet i know deep inside me
that we will
meet again
i know my love
that we will dance
and we do
and i watch you so beautifully twirl
like a dazzeling star
into the distance
