MY Days of Dreaming by Luis Dato
Long have I loved you with a love in pain And find me of a morning old As though the rice fields wandering 'mid the grain I find them scentless gold.

My Days of Dreaming

by Luis G. Dato

Long have I spent my days of youth in dreaming
A life of love when you by fate were mine,
Long have I sighed through time, the long hours deeming
Me happy in our eyes divine.

Long have I loved you with a love in pain
And find me of a morning old
As though the rice fields wandering ‘mid the grain
I find them scentless gold.
