Once upon a time
I was in love
And the world was full
Of song
And laughter
Oh, Lord
All the colors were brighter
Birds never seemed to stop singing
And I know
I had a stupid smile on my face
Almost all the time
Joy is too simple a word
To contain the emotions that took me
So high
But
Yes there is a but
For this was no fairly tale
But somehow the sunset was too elusive
And was never there
To ride off into
Golden hues and bright colors
Gradually faded to blue
