Golden Hour
All in a golden afternoon, under the skies of cloudless blue
I wished that, here with me, were you
On this afternoon, with the setting sun casting a golden hue
I basked in the remembrance of your company
Your company, as sweet as a cup o’ honey
Cloudless blue skies, clear as the space to my right
Where you occupied always with delight
Dearly, I found that I miss you
All in a golden afternoon, under the skies of cloudless blue
