Remember the day of dreary and gray,
Leaf yellowing in darkness withered…
All me: Love and Hope and Faith
In your eyes!
Remember moonlit night blue,
we walked, and the song sounded in the dark…
I buried this song live
In your eyes!
Remember happiness: It bounced a long time
Sad happiness on swift wings…
Just lived it, and burned
In your eyes!
