Through endless years I can't forget!
'Twas in the fall, like this, we met.
I liked the way you walked along
And on your lips a little song
Was floating out upon the air;
The moon made patterns on your hair!

I loved the way you laughed at me --
You weren't more than twenty-three
And I was twenty-one that day.
There seemed so much we had to say --
Important things -- we hardly knew
How swift the shining hours flew.

So many autumn moons have caught
Me in their headlong spell and brought
Me ache and bruised the peace we knew.
Today my eyes met yours, and you
Seemed hurt and lonely. Could it be
That you have not forgotten me!
