Lyrics Jazz for Kids - Cupi-Ki-Yai-Ya

I used to squint my eyes
It'd been such a long time
Back then, I was yours
And you were mine

Long ago, these obelisks
Stood with just cause
But now, these crumbling rocks
Are a testament to what once was

Still, you remain
Not as love
But a memory
Reminding me not of what I have gained
But that which I have lost

I've wandered for forty years
And like the Red Sea, we've parted ways
Cradled in my wrinkled hands
Are the fragments of younger days

But now, out of this desert, I see
There was nobody to blame
I smile, and think to myself
I'd do it all the same
