Lyrics
- After all these years I can’t forget
The happiness that I once knew
Maybe there’s a spark that’s burning yet
And filling me with thoughts of you
Gone is the treasure we found and let go
Was it worth keeping? We never will know
Chorus
There might have been a sky of blue
For me and you, we’ll never know
There might have been a garden, too
Where roses grew, we’ll never know
We might have built a castle high
For you were young and so was I
But we just kissed and said “Goodbye”
And so we’ll never know
- Maybe we had found the thing we sought
And maybe it was worth the cost
Leaving it behind without a thought
What happiness we might have lost
Maybe the rose that we covered with snow
Wanted to blossom, we never will know
