I'll always remember

I’ll always remember
that day in September.
My sweetheart came along,
while the birds were singing an amazing song.
His eyes were shining so bright
that I never forget that wonderful sight.

He was joking and smiling all the time,
and I could hardly believe he was mine.
While I listened to the sound of his voice,
I just knew I made the right choice.
His sweetness and his lovely touch,
made me love him so much!

But suddenly the earth stopped turning,
and the world around us was burning.
A dream became a nightmare,
and war seemed to be everywhere.
If I had known this before,
I would have given him much more!

From one moment to another,
we were miles away from each other.
I have been hoping and praying,
and didn’t care what people were saying,
But there was nothing left behind …
No picture, no kiss, only a memory in my mind.

That’s what I remember,
about that day in September.
