LYRICS
Prince Hulbrand:
     I remember so many things from my childhood -
     memories I cannot, will not let go from my mind!
     I remember holding a flower, its fragrance filling my mind
     with dreams and with longing.
     The sound of a brook, laughing as it ran from mountain to valley.
     The love cries of birds dancing in air-borne freedom,
     and sweet lullabies, singing so gently the songs
     which I thought I should hear all the days of my life.
     Oh, how I wanted to grasp and to hold all this fast in my hand,
     to know, to keep forever! All this I wanted to keep forever!
     But my memories faded, the desire to know was lost,
     and I was taught that a dream is, after all, just a dream.
     So the flower wilted, the water ran through my fingers,
     the birds were beyond my reach,
     and the singing, too soon, it too was forgotten.
     But now! All I thought was lost forever beckons to me once more!
     As I reach out to touch it is your hand I clasp,
     the fragrance, the laughter, the dance all your own!
     The song is the song which I heard as a child,
     and I longed so to hear once again!
     In you lives every dream I know;
     I cannot lose all this again!
     Come! Ah, come!
