That's all
Language: English
I wonder if you have forgotten the day We sat by the old sea-wall And watched the boats sail out of the bay For one little hour -- That's all. Oh, never a sound broke the silence gray But the waves and the sea-birds' call And somehow we hadn't a word to say For we were in love. That's all Oh, some forget, but it's not my way And I dream, when the shadows fail, I m watching the boats sail out of the bay. With you by my side, That's all.
