Return to Forever
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Days... floating round the bend
Thru the rainbow's end
Return to forever
Nights... ring around the moon
Ending all too soon
Return to forever
When we reach the autumn's bend
Will we wish that we were young again
Laughing in the face of time
If only we knew now, what we did then
Clouds... billow cross the sky
Changing as they fly
Return to forever
Waves... rush to kiss the shore
Once and nevermore
Go back, return to forever
How I wish that you were mine
And we could live again that summertime
To be that happy just this once again
If only we felt now as we did then
Child... holding out your hand
Please try to understand
Return to forever, return to forever
