The letters that you wrote me have
Turned golden in my mind
The yellow pages folded like
The prayerful hands of time
Each smile and kiss remembered like
A child on Christmas morn
Who wakes to white December
On the day that Christ was born
The sparkle in your eyes outshines
The brightest of the stars
Twinkling in the summer sky
I cannot reach so far
But I would hold your beauty like
The heavens hold the moon
Warm me like the morning sun
Until the afternoon
And when our loving time has set
And darkness closes in
Never will our hearts forget
How sweet our love has been
For your love has been to me
The treasure of my days
I have known such pleasure from
Your kind and tender ways
The letters that you wrote me have
Grown faded now it’s true
But it has not jaded there
The constant thought of you
And I will go on loving you
Until the end of time
Even though your letters have
Turned golden in my mind
