Memories awakening in my head of days of yesteryears.

                   
                   Lost days of childhood joys and tears. 

             
             Where is the yesteryears that has sped so fast?






                      
                           Why am I now living in the past?


         I'm sitting here in solitude , I'm waiting for something..


                           Oh yes... I'm waiting for you.


                          I'm reminiscing of friends of old


                     when we were young and oh so bold.


                       Names are forgotten.. faces faded


                        But we lived a life that was sated.


                    Who was that girl with jacks I played?


                   A rope we jumped that was so frayed.


                        My best friend she lived next door


                     We were friends since the age of four.


                      Where is she.. where has she gone?




                   

                   
                         Has she someone or is she alone?


                        Where is the boy I thought I loved?


                        He was my heart and stars above.


                       Did he marry and have a good life?


                         With children and a loving wife?


                     Stop the time and sit beside my bed


                      Dont lay me down to rest my head.


                            I have some time before I go.


                         Please hold my hand ..I'm so cold.


                   Oh do you see.. there is my friend of life


                                He's beckoning to me.


                      Come he say's let's run in the breeze.


                        He takes my hand and we fly away


                          to forever play in yesteryear day.
