to play in the snow
and forget all my troubles,
heartache and pain
I've let time slip by
before I could try
to dance out in the rain
I've not stopped and listen
to the happy sounds of the birds
and not waited and watched
for the sun to rise
Now the moon takes its course
every day in my life
but I've never looked up in the sky
And when I'd thought that I'd be rich
I'd never knew that my soul was poor
and deprived at such a cost
The years that past
I believe I've gained
but never knew how much I've lost
