Saw you in the distance, just a shadow of a shape,
something about the way you stood, I couldn’t look away,
I shook your hand, so pleased to meet you, we walked and talked for miles,
wondering what this might become, and then I saw that smile,
dinner at eight tomorrow, what was waiting for me there?
anticipation on my breath, caught inside,
love’s snare,
staring out the window, streets are racing by,
wipers slowly keeping time under a rainy twilight sky,
a shadow in the mist, takes me back such a long while,
dreaming out the window, when I think of you I smile.
different dreams, different paths, life’s plan took us separate ways,
wondering what you’re doing now, would we ever,
meet again,
saw her in the distance, just a shadow of a shape,
something about the way she stood, I couldn’t look away,
looking at this younger you, standing by the shore,
then I saw that smile I first saw, too many years before.
I shook her hand, so pleased to meet you have your mother’s smile,
smile as warm as sunshine, we walked and talked,
walked and talked for miles,
saw you in the distance, just a shadow of a shape,
something about the way you stood, I couldn’t look away.
a trace of mist, just out of reach, as I’m standing with closed eyes,
dreaming of so long ago, when I think of you I smile,
I take your hand, pull you close, remembering that first kiss,
turn around, you’re standing there, a vision,
in the mist, just out of reach as I’m standing with closed eyes,
dreaming of so long ago, when I think of you,
I smile, when I think of you,
I smi-ile,
when I think of you.
