- Description: she longs, she does, for simpler days but youth is gone -- it parted ways just as the sun on Tuscan hills -- it shines -- but it no longer thrills nor has it thrilled her in a while no matter -- she will force a smile

she longs, she does, for simpler days  
but youth is gone -- it parted ways  
just as the sun on Tuscan hills --  
it shines -- but it no longer thrills  
nor has it thrilled her in a while  
no matter -- she will force a smile
