|
When first I met you years ago |
|
in another time and place |
|
a thought came to my mind |
|
I'd never seen a kinder face |
|
or warmer laugh and gentler smile |
|
or eyes so full of light |
|
I'd be a fool if I didn't fall |
|
in love with you that night |
|
We've tramped around the world my dear |
|
our fortune was to roam |
|
but each place that I've been with you |
|
that place has been my home |
|
if now I wander on alone |
|
with no place to abide |
|
I'll be content for I was sent |
|
those wanderings at your side |
|
Love that blossoms in the night |
|
can't stand the test of time |
|
it ebbs and flows it comes and goes |
|
no reason reach nor rhyme |
|
as each day becomes another day |
|
each year another year |
|
I'd trade a year in heaven |
|
for a day with you my dear |
|
The miles flow on and I am gone |
|
to a wild and empty land |
|
where time's like an empty room |
|
and space an empty hand |
|
and the things we said and the jokes we made |
|
are echoes in the waste |
|
we'll meet again when hills are green |
|
in another time and place |
|
[repeat 1st verse] |
