There was a time I knew you
My flaxen haired girl
When you would liven up my day
And take me for a whirl
When I would be your oyster
And you would be my pearl
Back when I once knew you
My flaxen haired girl
My heart was yours to hold
A treasure you could own
And you would put it in your chest
Inside your happy home
And you would be my queen
And I would be your throne
Back when I once knew you
And I was yours alone
Time is no man’s partner
True love is not times friend
For man runs out of time
And true love here must end
It grows beyond all boundaries
Beyond time it ascends
Back when I once knew you
Where now our love transcends
Within the realm of heaven
Beyond that cosmic shore
Where spirits live with angels there
We’ll live forever more
And you will be my harp
And I will be your strings
And we will find true love once more
Again our hearts will sing
There was a time I knew you
My flaxen haired girl
