Hope Lingers Yet

Teardrops fell within an instant After their sudden 'goodbye'. How could they really mean the words That made two young hearts cry? She tried to keep her distance As unhappy days drifted by... If he would send a sweet bouquet Back home to him she'd fly. There lingered a secret longing For love to find a way, So joyful hearts could be together immersed in love forever and a day. NOW - it only took him an instant To cross his heart and say: 'Forget the past, I'm here at last With my gift of a floral bouquet'.
