The only love I've ever known, that I recall from long ago
Her face, her smile, her warming glow and light that filled her eyes
The vision of this wondrous maid, the image has begun to fade
How heavy on my heart it weighed to loose this precious prize
So I took up the hopeless quest and vowed that I would never rest
Without a breath left in my chest and find her once again
I quit the quest a thousand times but she returned into my mind
I could not leave it all behind and walk another mile
Days of future past- still live inside you
Dreams like spells are cast .. the love you once knew
I thought I saw her in a town where there were only shades of brown
And people stared down at the ground when you looked their way
And all the more that I implored the more I seemed to be ignored
They wouldn't tell me any more and so I didn't stay
Sometimes the vision that I keep returns to me when I'm asleep
In memories of thoughts too deep and where the shadows play
And if I live just one more time without her lips pressed to mine
I think that I would rather die than slowly fade away
Days of future passed- still live inside you
Dreams like spells are cast- the love you once knew
Finally I let her go, decided I would live alone
The love you know can only grow when you set it free
Just when I had made that choice I heard her softly whispered voice
With tears that caused me to rejoice as she returned to me!
Days of future past- they live inside you
Dreams like spells are cast- now she's beside you
The only love I've ever known, that I recall from long ago
Her face, her smile, her warming glow and light that filled her eyes...
