days
they come and go
years
slip us by
lifetimes
this annual picture show
love and love affairs
oh where do they go
that fateful day
when mountains crumble
troubled nightmares
when oceans boil
that one perfect day
we dare to speak
about fracas love
that fleeting day
we bravely say
we truly care
when the sun
blinks out
what is sadness
all about
what is it
when fragile hearts
are tragically broken
why is it
sweet true love
such deep words
are rarely spoken
will time stand still
if you go away
what will I ever do
if you don't stay
if some day
you leave me
a joyless day
when you turn
one last time
and walk away
