Kathleen Battle

There was a field in my old town

Where we always played hand in hand

The wind was gently touching the grass

We were so young, so fearless

Then I dreamt o'er and over

Of you holding me tight under the stars

I made a promise to my dear lord

I will love you forever

Time has passed

So much has changed

But the field remains in my heart

Oh, where are you?

I need to tell you I still love you

So I reach out for you

You fly around me like a butterfly

Your voice still echoes in my heart

You are my true love

There was a field in my old town

Where in spring all flowers blossomed wide

We were chasing butterflies

Hand in hand 'til close of day

Your voice still echoes in my heart
