Romantic nights of song and dance <br />Still live within my heart <br />And when I recall our ecstasy <br />Beautiful memories start. <br /> <br />In love, we waltzed beneath the moon <br />How foolish! I cannot deny... <br />Hand in hand and cheek to cheek <br />We left the world behind. <br /> <br />Such joy will never come again <br />For we are young no more. <br />And in golden dreams I clearly see <br />The way we were before. <br /> <br />The places where we used to go <br />Have crumbled now with time, <br />Gone has the old seat by the mill <br />And church bells never chime. <br /> <br />But love goes back a long long way <br />Maturing with the years like wine <br />And hand in hand and side by side <br />We still leave the world behind.<br /><br />Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-flood-of-memories/
