A
Golden Day
I
found you and I lost you,
All
on a gleaming day.
The
day was filled with sunshine,
And
the land was full of May.
A golden bird was singing
Its
melody divine,
I
found you and I loved you,
And
all the world was mine.
I found you and I lost you,
All
on a golden day,
But
when I dream of you, dear,
It
is always brimming May.
Enjoy the poem with beautiful music.
