By the hearth


Back I went to old Alton town
I was worried that long gone
Memories would get me down
Those eyes for me always shone

I walked the lane where you did live
It's changed so much since that day
At the back door you would give
A sweetest smile and say "Hey"

Once alone in your own room
Your full lips I used to kiss
For you were a precious bloom
You're still what I really miss

The long years have passed us both by 
Our ways took a different path
I recall you dark brown eyes
Us cuddled warm by the hearth
