Before Love Died
by
Joyce Hemsley
We walked in fields of golden yellow
before our love was dead;
we waded o'er the flowing streams
and crossed the bridge of idle dreams.
I believed those words you said,
before our love was dead.
We sat beneath the elm-tree bough
before sweet love was done;
we sailed upon the ocean blue,
with love and laughter all day through;
joy was in the setting sun,
before sweet love was done.
But now that you have gone away,
I cannot face another day;
the blues I sing in dark despair,
I look - and you are never there.
Without love I will always stay,
forever under skies of grey.
