lyrics

So Sweet Was She


From the silence of my room
I heard her playing, all alone
The dancing dust between her toes
The gift of childhood was her own
Before my window, she did laugh
I watched her play on the sun-dried path

So sweet was she, she seemed to me
Like gentle rain on a summer's day
So sweet and free, will always be
As gentle rain in my memory

A little while later, I moved away
Forgot, remembered, returned one day
To see the daughter of my dreams
Had put away her childish things
She sat, solicitous, under the tree
The dust had settled around her feet

Oh, unkind fate, ungracious time
What devil will destroy my dream?
For, at the dusty hour of noon
Fat and listless, so old so soon
The curse of time will mark us all
But not my memory of that fair girl

So sweet was she, she seemed to me
Like gentle rain on a summer's day
So sweet and free, will always be
As gentle rain in my memory
