(rudolph - waldman)      Days... floating round the bend   Thru the rainbow's end   Return to forever      Nights... ring around the moon   Ending all too soon   Return to forever      When we reach the autumn's bend   Will we wish that we were young again   Laughing in the face of time   If only we knew now, what we did then      Clouds... billow cross the sky   Changing as they fly   Return to forever      Waves... rush to kiss the shore   Once and nevermore   Go back, return to forever      How I wish that you were mine   And we could live again that summertime   To be that happy just this once again   If only we felt now as we did then      Child... holding out your hand   Please try to understand   Return to forever, return to forever
