A song of remembering first love when you've moved far, far away. I had in mind an Irish immigrant in America, but it could be anyone.
Streams of Sunlight
I turned and saw her standing there
With sunlight woven in her hair,
Tracing gold around her face so fair.
Chorus:
And I loved her even more
This love will never be forgot
For streams of sunlight glow in me and flow
Like molten gold in my heart.
She said no word, and yet her look said all
Her eyes were so beautiful,
My love, will you remember me at all?
Chorus
The tall trees whispered in the early mist,
But answer came 'This love will be not blessed,
But torn apart and set adrift.'
Chorus
No song I've heard can truly tell my pain
I knew full well that I'd not return;
But love reminds me once again...
Chorus
In the evening of my life I see the past
As one true light that keeps me from the dark,
This memory holds me fast;
I turn and see her standing there
With sunlight woven in her hair
Tracing gold around her face so fair
Chorus
And I love her even more
This love will never be forgot
For streams of sunlight glow in me
And flow like molten gold in my heart.
