THAT OLD DAY:

Whatever happened to that old lost day?

To that day where children used to play,

To that day where sun once brightly shone,

Where has that old lost day hidden & gone?

 

What happened to the day of whispered love?

To that ebony night of stars shining up above,

To that lost old day of promises & soft caresses,

Is it hidden beneath time´s petticoats & dresses?

 

Whatever happened to the day of baby´s echoes?

The day where raindrops entwined with rainbows,

The day of little voices saying, “Mama I love you”,

Is that day hidden behind your old eyes of blue?

 

What happened to the day I once called you mine?

Has it gone far away to that “Once upon a time?”

That day in time, has in hours, now waltzed away,

Tell me, whatever happened to that lost old day?
