Beyond  the ridge on the left, you asked me what I want
Between  the trees and the chirping by the shading pond
“I  spent and hour with you, should I want anything else?”
 She rose and winked like the owner of a candy store
 We were sixteen, maybe less, maybe a little more
 I walked home smiling, I finally had a story to tell
And  though an autumn-time lullaby  sang our new-born  love  to sleep
 My brother wrote me, he saw  her there
In  the woods  one Christmas  Eve, asleep
, , ,  . . . .. X 2
,  .. . . . . X 2
 met my wife at a party when I drank too much
 My son is married and tells me we don’t talk enough
 It’s so predictable, yesterday my dream was of you
 Beyond the ridge on the left, the sun had left the sky
 Between the trees and pond you put your hand in mine
 Said, “Time has bridled us both but I remember it, too”
 And though an autumn-time lullaby sang our new-born love to sleep
 I dreamt I traveled and found you there
 In the woods one Christmas Eve, with me
, , ,  . . . .. X 2
