Time has changed and rearranged
Words you wrote remain the same
Forty years have come and gone
Left you in my dreams and in this song.
Take a love from a youthful heart
Put a stamp on the forever part
What will come in forty years?
One could hope for cheerful tears.
A name a search in a book so kind
Left no match to this heart of mine
It would change neither life of ours
But still I took the task just a few hours
An email here, and note over there
Lifelines thrown just like a dare
Silence came back day after day
Adds to the drama of what she would say.
Take a love from a youthful heart
Put a stamp on the forever part
What will come in forty years?
One could hope for cheerful tears.
Now I leave you with no ending
And feels as bad as the writing
A life would change over a few words
But a heart would be strong from being heard.
