The Happy Time

1. Remember the Christmas morning long ago,
The frosted glass, the dancing snow,
The Happy Time
Remember the painted horse, the carousel.
The chocolate kiss, the caramel,
The Happy Time.
Remember the pale pink sky,
Your first Easter Hat.
And if you should ask me why
The reason I ask you this is that
I want to remember you remembering
The Happy Time.
2. Remember the day you found the dollar bill,
Or roller skating down the hill,
The Happy Time.
Remember the compliment you once received/
The lie you told they all believed.
The Happy Time
Remember your first school play, the sound of applause.
Why do I go on this way? Im only reminding you because
I want to remember you remembering
The Happy Time.
3. Remember the dearest love you ever knew,
The day she said, Hello to you.
The Happy Time
Remember the tulip trees you walked among,
The game was old, the player young.
The Happy Time.
Remember the a long deep sigh, a tentative kiss.
And if you should ask me why The reason I ask you that is this:
Im longing to see you smile and hear you laugh
So I can have the photograph and remember you remembering The Happy Time.
