[1st verse:] How short the days that we spent together How long the hours since you went away The world might still be a golden daydream Had I known then what I know today [Refrain:] I never knew How much I loved you I never knew What love could mean I never knew I would regret dear The Golden Days That might have been I never knew I could be lonely I never knew I could feel blue I never knew How much I'd want you Until I knew someone else wanted you [2nd verse:] We miss the flow'rs when the snow is falling We miss the sun when the skies are grey The sweetest dream soon becomes a mem'ry A golden mem'ry of yesterday
