    Long ago and far away we were star crossed lovers begging the universe for one more passion filled night or one more sun kissed day. In the calm of dawn I eemenver my one unforgettable love. How sad the world must go on without you.

    Long ago and far away two star crossed lovers begged the universe for one more passion filled night or one more sun kissed day. Life flowed on and so did we. In the cold light of dawn I sometimes recall memories of those two lovers of long ago. How sad you have left this world for and us.
