Holding you in my arms

As we laughed and danced and sang

Waking beside you each day

As the alarm on my telephone rang.

Happiness was my friend

I could never see you too soon

You were the light against my darkness

The flowers of summer were in bloom

Travelling here and there

Sharing secrets no one knew

Kissing me on the sofa

I started to fall for you

Ignoring all the warnings

That things were still awry

I could never bear to think the thought

That this could ever die

And I tried to make it work

All those gaps I tried to fill

Yet it did nothing really to prevent

The sun setting over the hills

Secrets became lies, lies became tears

As smiles turned to dread

And silence fills my rooms

The flowers of summer are now dead
