Memories
Glitter
Memories glitter
from far away
The twinkles of the stars mourn tonight
Oh, bring them back only for one day
The days of childhood adorned with clay
That bluest sky with one flying kite
Memories glitter from far away
The dance of the white swans on their way
Those pine trees under the same sunlight
Oh, bring them back only for one day
Dust on the staircase now pale and gray
Shades of green from that lantern so bright
Memories glitter from far away
Those wasted years still desire to stay
Every moment wants to hold them tight
Oh, bring them back only for one day
The bygone days can never say nay
Those joyful times are now out of sight
Memories glitter from far away
Oh, bring them back only for one day
