Once upon a memory

Things I almost remember
faintly cross my mind
it was so long ago
that I left it all behind

As I think back and remember
my mind is blank, dim as an ember
something I hold onto, that I've never forgotten
is that sweet lullaby...

The song, someone sings
a beautiful melody
lovely, breathtaking
enticing me to draw near

I close my eyes
feeling the peaceful, tranquil sound
it flows through my mind
catching my attention
calling out to me

oh, how I wish I could remember
that precious, cherished moment
but all I'm left with
is an enchanting melody

so close, yet so unobtainable
that memory so long ago
things my heart used to know
things I yearn to remember

and the song, someone sings...
once upon a memory
