Remembering You

The days were warm and sunny

In August when we met;

I think it’s kind of funny

How the memory lingers yet

                                 

Of sandy hair and boyish grin

And dancing eyes of blue,

Of wit and charm and winning ways –

Yes, I remember you!

As days went by, we shared so much

Of life and love and dreams and such;

You made my world a rosy hue –

Ah, I remember you!

December brought its chilling winds

By now, we two were more than friends.

We made a snowman, trimmed the tree,

Sat by the fire, you sang to me.

The glory of the springtime brings

Green grass, a flower, a bird that sings.

This year I saw it all anew

Because I was in love with you.

Then summer came and went so fast;

Just like our love, it couldn’t last.

Your head was turned by someone new;

You went away – my heart did, too!

Once more it’s August warm and bright,

I think of you both day and night.

What can I say, what can I do?

It hurts so much remembering you!
