Of Time Be Long Ago

My Dearest;

~Of that I dream in you each night

of time be long ago~

~When we were young in not so bright

in love befell us both~

~The time was then in sixty nine

before I went to war~

~One last night we intertwined

in loving be adored~

~Come back I said I would to you

in take you be my wife~

~In all I could I would in do

come back to you alive~

~You said you would in wait for me

you wore my promise ring~

~In that our lives were meant to be

from that be of begin~

~I left in night before of dawn

to catch a waiting plane~

~ En route to that of Vietnam

my heart in beating pain~

~I wrote you several times or more

with that of no reply~

~The Girl in that my heart adored

left me by my side~

~I never heard from you again

you were my everything~

~My life had come unto an end 

my heart be fevering~

~Now I dream in reminisce 

of you in every night~

~Still tasting of your lasting kiss

teardrops in my eyes~

~Of that I dream in you each night

of time be long ago~

~When we were young in not so bright

in love befell us both~
