Yellow Days

i do remember
when the sunlight had a special 
kind of brightness
and the laughter held a lover's 
kind of lightness
yellow days, yellow days
 
she would hold me
and the smile would spread around us
so completely
and the softness of a kiss would 
linger sweetly
yellow days, yellow days
 
but then came thunder
and i heard her say "goodbye"
through tears of wonder
now i'm all alone
and my heart wants to know
yellow days
where'd you go?
 
life is empty
and the sunlight seems so harsh
instead of tender
and the laughter's 
just an echo i remember
from yellow days, yellow days
