Once I smiled a smile so rare, Loved a girl with golden hair Acted like a human boy That would pause on clouds of joy Ran through fields like a child of the ground Kissed and touched with a silent sound Swung from trees like a monkey pup, Saw the world from downside up Then reality came crushing drowned my joy with human pain "Don't go!" "Must go" Never again! Once I smiled a smile so rare, Loved a girl with golden hair Ran through fields like a child of the ground Kissed and touched with a silent sound Now inside I keep my pearl An image of a golden girl Locked away in a secret bard Covered and heard in a seashell heart
