I have slept so long, for so long There lies my regret, sighing and grieving Had I known I could tremble so What now I know I would never have shown my soul Leaping, like an eager flame After all, who is to blame? There lies my regret, sighing and grieving And as this evening falls To close, for closed eyes Take that backward glance And see, see what lies behind Recall the time when all the world just seemed to recline Within our hands and was just washed away Like the fleeting summer rain Gentle memories of our finest day Can we ever hope to regain The innocence of youth? The sordid truth Our visions turn sour All colours turn to grey Goodbye my tender dreams Is there a better day? Regain To live on in hearts is never to die
