Eloy - Childhood Memories

Before my eyes pictures appear From long ago, but still so clear With skies of blue wind in my hair, We shared a moment without a single care. I still remember one summer's day, She held my hand to lead the way And showed me treasures, love in her smile We strolled the meadows and sang a lullaby. Wild flowers were in bloom Wearing a crown of dew, And sunrays on the leaves Danced in and out of view. Hear the stream that's flowing by Swallows flying in the sky. All the beauties of the land I began to understand On that day she held my hand. Brilliant colours all around, Million wonders to be found. While the perfume in the air Takes my senses unawares Giving joy without compare. Her tender voice whispered a sound And made my heart begin to pound. A children's rhyme rings in my ears Captured in my mind to dissipate all fears. Roaming in my dream, Feeling as I did before, Safe within my mem'ries Opening that secret door. Brilliant colours all around, Million wonders to be found, Thousand graceful butterflies Rise to fill this paradise As they catch me by surprise. Hear the stream that's flowing by Swallows flying in the sky, Endless haunting melodies Spreading mystic poetry To enlight my fantasy. There's a rainbow in my heart, Even though we had to part Shining on forever bright Like a diamond in the night, Always there to make things right.
