Once upon a yester-year
The air was warm, the sky was clear
I whispered things to you, my dear
Sweet promises in your ear.
And on that very same day's night
The sky boomed loud and filled with light
You held me close, I shook with fright
You said we'd be all right.
And finally, with the clouds away
We stepped outside, I heard you say:
"I told you that we'd be okay"
And night turned into day.
Among the flowers we would lie
Not caring when or where or why
I said, "You know, if I should die
I'd float up to the sky."
