A GOLDEN DAY
I FOUND you and I lost you, All on a gleaming day. The day was filled with sunshine, And the land was full of May.

A golden bird was singing Its melody divine, I found you and I loved you, And all the world was mine.
I found you and I lost you, All on a golden day, But when I dream of you, dear, It is always brimming May.
