Lyrics
I shall always remember the way that she smiled
and the way that her eyes danced at me.
How I wish she were here with me ever to be
in my arms and forever free.
How I long for the days we were happy and gay,
how I thought that forever we'd be!
Now I know how I miss her and how I would kiss her,
if she ever comes back to me!
