When The World Was Beautiful

I remember when the world was beautiful

And starlight filled the sky

When your eyes would smile at me

No man was happier than I

I remember when the world was beautiful

And each kiss was a dream

With you close, so close to my heart

There wasn't a cloud to be seen

But skies turned to gray

The day you went away

Stars lost all their charms

The day heaven left my arms

I remember when the world was beautiful

Paradise was at my door

But only if you return

Could the world be beautiful once more
