Last night when we were young

Love was a star, a song unsung

Life was so new, so real so right

Ages ago last night

 

Today the world is old

You flew away and time grew cold

Where is that star that shone so bright

Ages ago last night?

 

To think that spring had depended

On merely this: a look, a kiss

To think that something so splendid

Could slip away in one little daybreak

 

So now, let's reminisce

And recollect the sighs and the kisses

The arms that clung

 

When we were young last night
