The lyrics


One by one, the teardrops fall as I write you
One by one, the leaves come falling on the page
One by one, my hopes are vanished in the twilight
One by one, my schemes are fading fast away
One by one, the flowers fading in my garden
One by one, the leaves are falling from the trees
One by one, my hopes have vanished in the clouds, dear
One by one, like snowflakes melting in the breeze
One by one, my hair is turning gray
One by one, my dreams are fading fast away
One by one, oh, I read your letters over
One by one, I lay them all away
One by one, the days are slipping up behind you
One by one, the sweetest days of life go by
One by one, the moments stealing out behind you
One by one, she'll come and find out, you or I
One by one, I hear the soft words that you whispered
One by one, I feel your kisses soft and sweet
One by one, I hope you'll say the words to marry
One by one, to one by one forever be 

Your vision is not limited by what your eye can see, but what your mind can imagine.
Make your life count, and the world will be a better place because you tried.

"Use the talents you possess, for the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except only the the best." - Henry Van Dyke
