No Regrets

So swiftly dies the dream of life

So soon the mists enfold

I crave, therefore, one day of love

Till sea o’er me has rolled

So swiftly seeps the sands of time

So soon the swallow’s gone

So all my longings, all my dreams

I've now reduced to one:

That I could live one day with her

Together, at Land's End

At Longships Lighthouse stay with her

My lover and best friend

That I could feel her tender touch

Once more upon my face

That I could hold her in my arms

Once more, my love, embrace

So swiftly dies the dream of life

So soon the sun it sets

If I could spend that day with her

I’d die with no regrets
