(lyrics and music by James Seals, 1969)
From the albums SEALS AND CROFTS (1969) and SEALS AND CROFTS I AND II (1974).
The leaves of laughter fluttering around my head. Insane desire fills the pillow on my bed.
Each time I think of all the happiness you've brought, I'll remember you in the birthday of my thoughts.
The silver eagle of your love declared its place. Its flight of splendor I still carry on my face.
I've known the emerald of the peace that I once sought. I'll remeber you in the birthday of my thoughts.
See my love, candles of love ever burning.
See my love, candles of love ever burning, burning, burning.
The daylight and the darkness finds me wishing you were here. Your presence's faded but I will not shed a tear.
Don't ever feel that it was foolishly bought. I'll remember you in the birthday of my thoughts.
See my love, candles of love ever burning.
See my love, candles of love ever burning, burning, burning.
See my love, see my love.
