Happy thought gone
I remember when I could flyThen, one day I lost my happy thought,
Forgot how to fly, and where home, really was
One day I remembered I could fly
But it was too late
My happy thought had gone away
I had waited too long to realize
What I was losing
Such bright light shines from you
Bright like the rays of the morning
Sun across the still blue waters
Of a forgotten lake
Such a passionate fire burns
Within you
Like a thousand cupid arrows
Were used for its kindling
Such a sight to behold
Sculpted from God's special clay
By his very hands
For all the world to see
I rejoice in the knowledge
That I once shared a slice of your lifetime
And I am honored by the love you gave to me.
I grieve with great sorrow that I
Squandered the little time we had
Wasted a chance to hold such a beautiful soul
And now, now I am left with hope.
Hope that one-day, before I pass from this life
To the next I will know
Your forgiveness.
Nevertheless I go on.
I remember when I could fly
Then, one day I lost my happy thought,
Forgot how to fly, and where home, really was
One day I remembered I could fly
But it was too late
My happy thought had gone away
I had waited too long to realize
What I was losing
One day I will fly again
