Original lyrics
ENDown by the lake
A warm afternoon
Breezes carry children's balloons
Once upon a time
Not long ago
She lived in a house by the grove
And she recalls the day
When she left home
Long good-byes
Make me so sad
I have to leave right now
And though I hate to go
I know it's for the better
Long good-byes
Make me so sad
Forgive my leaving now
You know I'll miss you so
And days we spent together
Long in the day
Moon on the rise
She sighs with a smile in her eyes
In the park
It's late afterall
She sits and stares at the wall
And she recalls the day
When she left home
