Today I saw

 a face I only dream of

I recognized

a feeling that I used to know

 from another time. a space I thought I left

Long ago

I stood a while,I felt my breath escape me

 and spoke her name

then as she turned to face me

for a second there was something in her eyes

 as if to say

nothing has ever changed

We took our seperate ways

 but in our hearts we never changed

we threw it all away

could we go back once again

I learnt to carry on

I learnt to face another day

without her, without her trace

So close we nearly touched

I almost took her hand in mine

 time can fall away

 but nothing can change the man inside

 or bring us back the love once we denied

The candle burned

but in a world of darkness

I'd seperate

my life before and after her

now I see that nothing every really changed

but it's too late

I stood a while

I felt my breath escape me

spoke her name

then as she turned to face me

For a second there was something in her eyes

As if to say

time and tide can't wait

We took our seperate ways

but in our hearts we never changed

we threw it all away

could we go back once again

I learnt to carry on

I learnt to face another day

without her, without her trace

So close we nearly touched

I almost took her hand in mine

time can fall away

but nothing can change the man inside

or bring us back the love once we denied
