i found you, one day, like a petal on a tree
shimmering in the breeze, twinkling like a star
and i found you one day, standing next to me
shining like a moon beam. almost touching were we
i saw you. you were eternity, and i was free
soft and hard, cool and hot, timid and wild were you
i touched you and you strained, trying as if to see
i thought we would exchange: you gave and i gave me
nestled in a grove of elms, far in the deepness of time
covered in blossoms, honey-swept, crisp and serene
i found you with a smile, just a smile - for me
and i found you on a long and dusty road
i saw you away in the distance, in a dream
floating like a ghost, something we cannot possess
you were there beyond my grasp, beckoning
when i awoke, i found you sleeping peacefully
and how can i express what it is you mean to me?
perhaps it's better that i myself can never know
and you have given me much more than happiness
you see, i found you in my memory the other day
where will you be when we turn the corners? i wonder
bending around life's byways. i cannot see
i'll have you where i found you on that day.
when the breezes blow lightly in the air
or a mist rises over the ocean on summer's eve
i'll have you forever just as you'll have me
the way it was back once when we were we
