once more

Standing here in silence
I hear my heart beating
And I got swept away
By the haunting melody
That shaped our yesterday

A bittersweet refrain
A seemingly unending song
That moves beyond horizons
And boundaries spanning
Infinite time and distance

To a certain place and time
When I believed that love was mine
And love - a wonderland of dreams

Of sunshine and meadows and flowers
Of raindrops and streams and woodlands
Bright mornings, windy afternoons and warm nights
Dreamy sunsets, countless diamond stars and soft sweet kisses

A certain place and time
When I thought that love could endure

The beatings of cruel reality
The restlessness of youth
And the falling apart of the dream

And now here I am
Standing here in silence
Waiting for the last note
To echo back and fill
My desperate longing heart
With the old familiar melody
And let me get lost
In the dream
Once again

[skye] I wrote this for a former love; young love when out of nowhere, I just remembered the times we had and how youth was a folly.
