While Walking in a Field

A moment passes by.

Still singing of moments passed by.

 

I look around and I wonder why,

all I can see

are the moments gone bye.

 

Bye, bye, baby,

 

So sweet,

like heaven from a summer sky—

I'm still longing for the sound

of that Lullaby.

 

But bye, bye, baby,

it's all gone.

 

I still hear it in the sweet, soft breeze:

nostalgia thunders like the wildest streams,

casting rainbows in the clear, cold spray.

 

Yesterday—I miss it so much,

I run my fingers through the fine, green leaves:

the fields of memory roll on—and o—n,

so ripe,

under the alpenglow of all life's dreams.

 

In the sunbeams of the aspen trees,

I just can't look away

from this time going by.

 

Kiss it goodbye

and pass on

 

this Lullaby.

 

So another moment passes by,

still singing of moments passed Bye.
