dear silhouette of goodness
plum of effervescence
budding youthful innocence
where have you gone?
my heart you dance
with nimble fingered smiles
in all your ways and wiles
with you i soar
through all the miles
to other worlds
have now you flown
where ere the wind has blown?
to somewhere else you've gone
so real you were
giddy happy demure
and now, no more
i look i see
but naught there is, just me
what fate, when all the world
was mine, with you
and now this emptiness
pass by this way again
if, oh you might
that once again your form,
your shape, your flight
might pass my sight
oh, dear, if when i pass
there is one gift that i could leave
it would be this
that everlasting light and peace
and bliss, and happiness
could always and for all eternity
be yours
my light is dying
though all won't be for naught
if yours a little brighter will be
if you might have
some fancy memory of me
so many dreams, ah yes
we've had them, dreams
we've dreamed, we dream
where are these dreams we've had
have they all gone
have you
have you gone too
where are you dear
you know i miss you still
you know i miss you
and i always will
