I yearned for love
Late in the Fall
When fallen leaves
Paint barren ground
And naked boughs
Dance in the wind
And make no sound
And I still longed
When days got short
For loving words
A sweet caress
When in my heart
I felt the pain
Of loneliness
When the dawdling birds took up their flight
For love-making nests
An empty silence filled the chilling air
But I remained oblivious to despair
I dreamt a song
In wintertime
When bright snow flakes
Reflect the light
And the north wind
With howling gusts
Wakes up the night
I dreamt of love
A tender kiss
A long embrace
That makes one whole
The softest touch
A gentle smile
That melts the soul
But darkening clouds and the chilly breeze
Swept that dream away
I felt the pain that won’t let you cry
And my lonely heart kept wondr’ng why
In early Spring
When sleeping buds
Of the warm rays
Await the embrace
And the song birds
Are coming back
To a known place
In early Spring
Your deep blue eyes
Met my brown eyes
On an early morn
Your shining smile
Awoke my heart
Lost and forlorn
I did not know if this was just a dream
But I felt alive
Your love to a new life opened the door
And my joyful heart wondered no more
We sang a song
All summer long
Our love was young
Our passion strong
We soared like birds
Seeking the stars
We chased the moon
I held your hand
Caressed your hair
Inside I sensed
A bliss divine
And with a kiss
I felt your heart
Embracing mine
Embracing mine
