Serenade

Serenade

by Cathy Windham

Sing a song of meaning

that takes me back in time

Of days and fun we used to have

when we were in our prime

The melody will be soft and slow

as evening shadows grow

For in your guitar lies a song for me

that only you will know

I had the feeling many have 

when they are reminded of the past

that in this moment of the future

you want it all to last

Yet as all dreams and songs do end

when tempo begins to trail

the song you sang for me that day

impressed me without fail
