Time promised me
Some day to unfold
A lifelong happiness
Bound with a goal.
I’m patiently awaiting
Along the way,
Attentive as a child
At its daily play.
My heart ne’er chills
From the long winter’s cold.
It’s wanting that happiness
Bound with a goal.
At times I’m sad
With nothing to say,
I should be gay as a rose
Of a bright summer’s day.
But looking for the story
So sweet to be told
Are you my little happiness
Bound with a goal?
If fate takes away
This promise so dear,
There’ll be a chain
Of my wasted years.
Link by link
To count and hold,
Trying to find my happiness
Bound with a goal.
