When life was young

There was peace one day
In a world where life was young

There was peace that day
When instruments would strum

There was peace that day
When hummingbirds had sung

There was peace; said they
When you and I would come

To the garden blooming
In the land of grace

The flower – blowing –
In the wind –
Beside your face

And when you asked;
Can lifetime slow its pace

A dance – a groom – a bride –
Now interlaced

I said; of course
And placed that flower in your ear

And you would glow
And dance without a fear

And when I said; must go
It’s time my love

Adoration grew
And then you shed a tear

Stay and hold my hand
Beyond tonight

It’s you that sheds
The darkness of the night

I said; of course
Aren’t lovers meant as one

On that day of peace
(and well beyond)
When life was young.
