Steeples and spires
Inglenook fires
Once warm desires
Take my mind
Back through a maze
Of frolics and frays
We spent the days
Hearts entwined
Tears and smiles blend my sweet sorrow
Memories of a love now past
Grief defiles the joy I borrow
From romance so unsteadfast
Swift flowing streams
Silver moonbeams
My broken dreams
Lie around
Echoing rhymes
Of happier times
But now their chimes
Cease to sound
Tears and smiles blend my sweet sorrow
Memories of a love now past
Grief defiles the joy I borrow
From romance so unsteadfast
How long can I
Live this fool's lie
Striving in vain
To ease love's pain
Moments of bliss
Thoughts such as this
I should dismiss
And I've tried
To no avail
I falter and fail
Hopelessly frail
Tron inside
Tears and smiles blend my sweet sorrow
Memories of a love now past
Grief defiles the joy I borrow
From romance so unsteadfast
