Long, long ago in a time so fair
Shimmers a memory like a diamond rare
Scarlet ribbons and plaited hair
Take my hand, I will take you there
A golden boat sails on a far off sea
Upon the swaying waves of glimmering green
A red sky beyond the horizon’s reach
Reflects its glow on a coppery beach
Listening to the sweet yon horizon’s call
Feeling the lulling tide, its rise and fall
Oh, how we sailed that bright green sea
Holding in heart, all our youthful dreams
Classrooms, hall, and playground hold
Chit-chats, laughter, and secrets untold
The fragrance of the sea wind twirls and swirls
The bubbling bright mirth of pretty little girls
Since those lovely warm sunny days are gone
Since now we dwell in the radiant afterglow
Cherishing all the memories, as we used to sing
Watching her glories grow and rise to the brim
Weaving sails with dreams and kindling hope for light
Courage for the mast that held the sails upright
Dear fellow sailors who oared it hand in hand
Hope you all have reached that uncharted land
