Fred Rand - Mayfly lyrics

What a lovely summer morn What a day to get being born Little did I know that I would Spend my years to come by tiny hours Still I'm lucky to be born On such a lovely summer morn And then by noon she crossed my flight Around the meadow by the resting of the willow We could dwell inside the grove Shading from the sun above Can I see you here again tonight? She was hours ahead of me Told me of the things that be We flew toward the sun We settled down to watch the evening come I'm so lucky being alive With such a lovely lady fly And then the evening crossed our flight So she told me to be waiting by the willow She'd be back within a while And she left me with a smile Saying we would fly together through the night But then the sun turned out its light And I'm left there waiting, weeping like the willow For this hour yesterday She was greeted with her day She won't be back again to see the night She has died and so will I By the untimely morning light One life is not enough for a mayfly But it was a lovely morn Yes it was a lovely morn
