Eyes come closed to the darkness
Mind open to the thoughts of another age
Long long ago when the grass was green
And the hills smiled full
Full of golden

This was the time
This was the place
Where my pa held my hand
Where we played
Where we danced

Long long ago
When the trees held the fruit
Was the time for the present
And life for the full
Where we chased and laughed
Fell into the grass
Where he held my hand

Pillow wet from a blurred view
His hand no longer touching
As I remember today
Bring me the past
So I may live this way
Long long ago was a place I remember
Memories of the best of days
Where
My pa held my hand
