too beautiful to last

the days of autumn splendor

those moments warm and tender

was it too beautiful to last?

the love we shared together

the dreams we dared together

was it too beautiful to last?

walking hand in hand

the dawn discloses

we were dreaming of a land

where love reposes

but castles made of sand

like winter roses

are fated to die

my darling

like you and i

my darling. where are those sweet septembers

the joy my heart remembers?

lost in the shadows of the past

the rainbow arched above you

the sacred words

i love you

why did that dream go by so fast?
