Time calls and I answer her summons.
It shows me a past full of faraway places
Of flowers and trees that enchant and shade
It shows me the thread of my joyous keepings
People, gardens, leafy lanes, insects and pets.
It shows love has come, gone and remained
It shows friends who have always been loyal.
Yet it also shows me now only the future counts
For while we live, breathe and yet still see love
The world is the treasure of our innocent souls
For one day soon enough shall the world dim
And all those hidden memories shall awaken
Into the light of an eternal spring day once more.
And no memories shall ever be as beautiful to me
As the ones we have shared and now forgotten
Made together in love to stand for all time to come
