Bio

Lyrics

INNOCENT DAYS

Verse 1:
Innocent days, of you and me;
Never will forget, the memories,
Of times we shared . . before we cared.
Innocent days

Verse 2:
But providence came, and changed our hearts,
Sneaking away, that innocent spark;
That once was near, and still so dear,
Innocent days . . .

Chorus:
When the pain of love surrounds you
Close your eyes and you’ll see . . .
Innocent days, of you and me

Verse 3:
And innocent days, you left so soon,
A competent babe, who left the womb,
Once you’re born, you can’t restore,
Those innocent days . . .

Verse 4:
And innocent days, Love’s deceit,
An intricate maze, grows from need;
Love has dawned, but what is gone,
Are innocent days . . .

Chorus:
When the pain of love surrounds you
Close your eyes and you’ll see . . .
Innocent days . . .

Verse 5:
Innocent days, a time so sweet,
Clinging to the days, of make believe;
When love was known . . . but not yet shown . . .
