They sat together by the darkening sky
He looked at her as the carriage pulled by
The wind it whispered
The day grew dim
He knew right then it was up to him
Don’t cry
Time goes by
She looked closely at his face and caught a spark
Lovers walked hand in hand across the city park
The music it talked
The day bore down
He had carried too long the thorny crown
Don’t cry
Time goes by
He took her hand gently and held it tight
Neon lights flickered into a midsummer night
The memory it lingered
And the day was reborn
The undertaker blew his frugal horn
Don’t cry
Time goes by
They both shared this treasured place in time
He tied her green shawl and drank her wine
The coldness cursed
That the day did not last
Her grey headstone now just an echo of the past
Don’t cry
Time goes by
