The Heart Asks

The memories are fading
The heart asks, has it been too long
Mind can no longer remember
The lyrics to this old song

Spirit calls out to the sunrise
Wants to remember times of old
When there was no worry
No hate, no pain, no cold

But the time is now gone and
The heart asks, has it been too long
Has everything that was right
Turned into all that is wrong

The images that once danced
Merrily in tired blue eyes
Can no longer be seen
No matter how desperate the tries

But the love is still there even though
The heart asks, has it been too long
I understand now that for this
There is no such thing as too long
