A Trip to the Past

In a few days I'm returning
To that little town of our youth;
To see if my rememberies
Are founded on the truth.

If it's true skies were ever blue
And honeyed days forever bright;
The moon was never less than full
While stars lit up the night.

I've disremembered all the times
Except enchanted days with you;
When you first said you loved me and
I knew I loved you too.

I will know it when I find it
That magic time from long ago.
Has my hometown saved it for me
The glow we used to know?

I'll be walking down the same streets
Where you and I strolled hand in hand.
Will I find us there together
In our own fairy land?

I can picture you there waiting
In the confectionary store,
To buy chocolate sodas for us
As in those sweet day of before.
