Memories, memories How long can you stay to haunt my days? ‘Twas not for talk of loving ‘Twas not for talk at all So much ado about nothing Would be her only call
So much ado my lover So many games we played Through many a fleeted summer Through every precious day
All dead, all dead All the dreams we had And I wonder why I still live on All dead, all dead And alone I’m spared My sweeter half instead All dead and gone All dead
All dead, all dead At the rainbow’s end Still I hear her own sweet song All dead, all dead Take me back again I know my little friend’s All dead and gone
Her ways are always with me I wander all the while But please you must forgive me I am old but still a child
All dead, all dead But I should not grieve In time it comes to everyone All dead, all dead But in hope I breathe Of course I don’t believe You’re dead and gone All dead and gone
