Wildflower

I remember years agoA little girl with her laughterFrom high up on on your shoulders you would tellMe stories,And sing to me softlyOnce I had a little girlWith two braids swinging on her backWhen she undid her thick black braidsMy heart would also come undoneIn the meadow, I unraveled themFriendly old moon smiled down on usBut in the fall, shed shed them allTo the autumn of our soulsIn the meadow, I unraveled themFriendly old moon smiled down on usOnce I had a little girlWith two braids swinging on her backShe has gone, this little girlAnd taken spring away with herNow that same girl stands before youLong black hair caped over her shouldersStage lights shineAnd in my mindI send a song out to youOnce I had a little girlWith two braids swinging on her backBut autumns pastAnd she will laughFall is all but gone awayA lovely springBeginsToday
