There was one, and she is gone
There were days I will remember
Years have passed, I keep them in my heart
There were days so very sweet
That remind me what life is

There was one, and she is gone
In my heart I keep the light of her eyes
There was one, so very sweet
With a pair of eyes that captured me

The whole world blooms again
Filled with light, and shining through her

The whole world blooms again
Filled with light, and shining through her

I will remember you, little girl
And in my heart you will rest
I will remember you forever
Beautiful, gentle, and shy

My love, tell me why and for what reason
You left me alone, sad and wounded

My love, tell me why and for what reason
You left me alone, sad and wounded

I sit here angry
I sit here in prison

I sit here angry
I sit here in prison

On a clear day her eyes sparkled
She left without saying goodbye
She went far, so very far
And I will never see her again

My eyes are filled with tears, my heart with pain
For I will not be able to love again
I will remember her even in her death
I will remember her image forever

Remember the glow of youth
Remember the days

Remember the glow of youth
Remember the days

How we sat together in gardens
Embracing, in love
On the mountains, in the valleys
Within your gentle arms

My love, I am tired of living, understand this
I am so very, very lonely, please remember me

My love, I am tired of living, understand this
I am so very, very lonely, please remember me

Goodbye, goodbye my beloved
Goodbye, goodbye my distant one

Goodbye, goodbye my beloved
Goodbye, goodbye my distant one

There was one, and she is no more
