Oh, those early days of delight
When love was the air that we breathed
The forest was kind to our eyes
And the soil sang to our feet
And everything was bathed in sunlight
We were young, golden eyed and free
Everything was ours to discover
We danced among the creatures and the trees
We would talk and laugh and sing til daybreak
Never lacking intimacy
We were brave enough for each other
All we had to do was be
And everything was bathed in sunlight
We were young, golden eyed and free
Everything was ours to discover
We danced among the creatures and the trees
And the mountains stood tall to be conquered
The tree branches called to be climbed
The questions lined up for their answers
As we danced in oceans of time
And every morning dew brought a promise
That we would never have to leave
We sang our songs of breathless wonder
Til the skies filled with harmonies
And everything was bathed in sunlight
We were young, golden eyed and free
Everything was ours to discover
We danced with each other
And the creatures and the flowers and the trees
