| One year ago we met, In the pool that summer day On vacation from the world,Not expecting something so wonderful to come our way One year ago we tossed a ball, Between ourselves and other friends We laughed, we talked, we fell...in love? We never wanted those nights to end One year ago you smiled at me, You held me in your arms But nothing happened one year ago, Although I so wanted to fall to your charms One year ago I was his And you never once led me astray We had our fun, we played our games We were together...for seven days. For seven days we danced Around the thoughts we were dying to voice But we would not relent, we steadied our lips We did not have a choice For seven days my heart ached Ached to be with you To lay together, to share our days together To explore something so bright, so new You brought me breakfast in the morning While I hurried to catch the bus I thought about you every minute Was there really something that strong between us? The nights brought lighted curtains We both were watching from behind The phone would ring asking us to come visit It was like you read my mind Each night was different, Fun-filled every one I couldn't hide my sadness When the seven days were done I remember how you smiled at me How you gently touched my hair I remember how I brushed your leg I remember how I cared There's something about you I can not explain That I can not possibly say How can I make people understand Why I cry as if this were all just yesterday? I succeeded all year in forgetting In putting you at the back of my mind But now I can't erase those eyes So warm, so soft, so kind It should all be so easy I've erased my feelings before Why do I feel that with you There's something so much more? Something so great it forces me to think Just what our life would be Could I live so far away from here Could you take care of me? Everything is so crazy, I haven't seen you in a year! But every time we finish talking I shed a silent tear We'll always be together Our lives are forever entwined But in what way will you be in my heart? Why are you always on my mind? But mostly, what I need to know Is why I long to have you near... Why my cheeks burn bright with tears... Why it seems like I left you only yesterday, When my heart's been breaking for one year. |
