There Is A Girl Poem by jim hogg

The stars still colonise my jealous eyes
And write what never was on fading lines
We never danced the night away and left
Together arm in arm with hearts in step

I see you on the street here now and then
And wonder if you ever think of when
A country girl was sitting by the wall
And caught my eye across the old church hall

(chorus)
When we were in our teens and suddenly
There was no world; there was no history
For I was in your arms and you were mine
One night so long ago in summertime

Sometimes it seems to me there's still a bond
That links us gently through those kisses gone
Somewhere beyond the veils of folded time
Your arms and lips still keep their hold on mine

(chorus)
Just as they did when we were young and shy
And never had the chance to say goodbye
though years and miles and changes all build walls
Sometimes I'm back inside the old church hall

The next time that you hear me saying hi
Or catch a glimpse of fondness in my eyes
It's just because I'm thankful I held you
When you were oh so young and beautiful
Or just because I'm thinking of the night
And precious moments when you held me tight

(chorus)
When we were in our teens and suddenly
There was no world; there was no history
For I was in your arms and you were mine
One night so long ago in summertime
