Wasn't it fun
Chasing the Sun
Or a blur of wings streaking the air?
Pausing to learn
Just how we could return
To a childhood of time without care

Didn't life taste
Sweet as we raced
A blending of laughter and lace?
Just you and me
By an emerald sea
With your soft lashes sweeping my face

Didn't you change or did you rearrange
My life with a wave of your hand?
Happy to be are just running with me
Leaving footprints behind in the sand

Wasn't it right
Wasn't it right
Through twilight towards midnight and dawn?
Never in doubt
Living without
All the money we have that was gone

Why couldn't we reach
From silence to speech
Like a river that longs for the sea?
Stopping to share
An occasional prayer
In the shade of a leaf heavy tree
