Down by the lake
   a warm afternoon -
   breezes carry children's balloons.
   Once upon a time,
   not long ago,
   she lived in a house by the grove.
   And she recalls the day,
   when she left home...
  
   Long good-byes,
   make me so sad.
   I have to leave right now.
   And though I hate to go,
   I know it's for the better.
   Long good-byes,
   make me so sad.
   Forgive my leaving now.
   You know I'll miss you so
   and days we spent together.
  
   Long in the day
   moon on the rise -
   she sighs with a smile in her eyes.
   In the park,
   it's late afterall,
   she sits and stares at the wall.
   And she recalls the day,
   when she left home...
