The days of autumn splendor, those moments warm

The love we shared together, the dreams we dared

together, was it too beautiful to last?
(Chorus)

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.
(Verse 2)

Where are those sweet Septembers, the joy my heart
remembers?

Lost in the shadows of the past.

The rainbow watched above you, the sacred words,

I love you..why did the dream go by so fast?
