Love You Once Made

You can leave knowing
You did all you could
You could have said ten thousand words
Done all the things that you should
Time’s hands turn
To point straight your way
A memory faded to dust
Of a love you once made
There were the nights of the midnight ramble
The roll and tumble, the toss and gamble
There were hot suppers on the table
Electric’s paid and rent was stable
We’d watch the sunsets on the shoreline
Walk hand in hand towards the star shine
Raise the windows, feel the rain dance
So sound and settled, deep in romance
You can leave knowing
You did all you could
You could have said ten thousand words
Done all the things that you should
Time’s hands turn
To point straight your way
A memory faded to dust
Of a love you once made
