Lost, But Not Forgotten

Words and Music by Mark Edwards

© October 1977

Once a child all alone in the world

With a tune, guitar and three chords

Sang songs of love and of dreams unfulfilled,

Of dreams that had been dreamed before,

By many more.

Once it seemed no one cared

He looked and he found no one there

Those many years are lost, but not forgotten

Doesn’t seem all that long ago.

Seems I've tried for the longest of time

Wiped the tears from my eyes

Woke in the midst of a beautiful dream

A dream that had been dreamed before,

By many more.

Sing you're song little bird

Well, he sang and he found no one heard.

Those many years are lost, but not forgotten

Doesn't seem all that long ago.

Time goes by and there's nothing to fear.

I hold you close to my side.

Winter has gone and the Spring's reappeared

And a dream that had been dreamed before,

Has been dreamed once more.

Once it seemed no one cared

He looked and he found no one there.

Those many years are lost, but not forgotten

Doesn't seem all that long ago..
