Days of youth where have you gone
I can see you in the distance there
past the moon beyond the sun
laughing freely without a care

How quickly life can pass us by
its seems like only yesterday
I'll never know the reasons why
you had to leave you couldn't stay

I saw through my child's eye
perfection without a doubt
then you left with no goodbye
left me tears a drought

My child's heart it quickly grew
nothing would be the same
you left me with my life askew
I have only you to blame

Trust is now so hard to find
I can't help but resisting
it's always you who comes to mind
it's always you I'm missing

A child's love so blind and true
so quickly it can change
into a woman's cold and blue
I find it all so strange

I wonder if you think of me
if I ever come to mind
how I'd rest upon your knee
and love with eyes so blind

I'll never know the reasons why
and maybe it's for the best
I'm going to have to say goodbye
and leave your memory to rest
