One Autumn Day - Maggie Reilly

One autumn day, he looked my way

And promised me he’d never

Leave me sad and blue

He said he always knew

We would be together

So hand in hand, we wed as planned

Our time was short, however

As the world was turned around

The innocence we’d found

Was lost in stormy weather

That autumn day, when he marched away

I heard him say, forever

He writes me every day

Says everything’s OK

Soon things will be much better

But late at night, as the candles' light

Flickers in the darkness

I see him over there

The moonlight in his hair

As stars explode around him
