Love it seems like only yesterday
You were just a child at play
Now your all grown up, inside of me
Oh how fast those moments flee
Once we watched a lazy world go by
Now the days seem to fly
Life is brief but when it's gone
Love Goes on and on.
Love will Live
Love will Last
Love goes on and on and on
Then it goes into musical interludes and repeating of parts of the lyric

Yeah, that does ring true! The song I think of is a song by Jaci Velasquez, whom I'm normally not a fan of. I'm searching for the lyrics now, but she sang a song called "Take Me Back To You" about returning to the days of innocence in childhood when God watched over her. It reminds me so much of the Cottage of Lost Play in the Books of Lost Tales. Somehow, it also reminds me of my own childhood...particularly in my parents' bedroom when the whispy blue curtains were gently blowing in the cool spring breeze. I cannot find lyrics. But the song goes something like this. Oh wait, here they are!
Lord, I'm in the dark,
Seems to me the line is dead when I come calling.
No one there, the sky is falling;
Lord, I need to know.
My mind is playing games again,
You're right where You have always been.
Take me back to You,
The place that I once knew as a little child;
Constantly the eyes of God watched over me.
Oh, I want to be
In the place that I once knew as a little child,
Fall into the bed of faith prepared for me.
I will rest in You,
I will rest in You,
I will rest in You.
Tell me I'm a fool,
Tell me that You love me for the fool I am,
[And*] comfort me like only You can,
And tell me there's a place
Where I can feel Your breath
Like sweet caresses on my face again.
Take me back to You,
The place that I once knew as a little child;
Constantly the eyes of God watched over me.
Oh, I want to be
In the place that I once knew as a little child,
Fall into the bed of faith prepared for me.
I will rest in You,
I will rest in You,
I will rest in You.
*Snips out a few la-la-la's and repeats*
Take me back to You.
The place that I once knew as a little child;
Constantly the eyes of God watched over me
Oh, I want to be
In the place that I once knew as a little child,
Fall into the bed of faith prepared for me.
I will rest in You,
I will rest in You,
I will rest in You.
You have to understand, unless you've heard the song, you probably won't feel what it made me feel.
