~A Youth of Long Ago~

Timeless memories caress my mind,
of a youth of long ago.

Your sweet and charming laughter,
a blessed symphony to my ears.
Ageing simply adds more memories for me,
to cherish in later years.


In your lips I see no change at all,
still your kisses thrill me so.
As time marches on I'll cling you see,
to that youth of long ago.


Your twinkling eyes they tease with mischief,
or a dazzling smile they bring.
They make me fall in love with you every day,
they'll add more joy with every spring.


So stay beside me love as long as you possibly can,
for the thing that you should know.
There is no older woman I see,
tis a youth of long ago.
