I remember joy
It was a long time ago
When the sun  shone brightly
And you wore a halo glow
The flowers were in full bloom
And birdsong filled the air
Under an azure sky we laughed 
In our world we didn't have a care

I awoke with you in the morning 
Each and every glorious day
I could see the sparkle in your eyes
The look of love nothing more to say
I held your nakedness tenderly in my arms
You said that you loved loving me
And revealed all of your charms

When you left the house for work
I would watch through the window pane
You would look up and give a little wave
That kept me going all day until we met again
Then tragedy it came along
And filled my life with pain

I remember joy
It was a long time ago
When the sun  shone brightly
And you wore a halo glow
I remember joy like it was yesterday
Will it lift my spirits ever again
Or will I wait forever in melancholy vain
I remember joy
