I MET YOU IN ANOTHER LIFE

PEOPLE CONSTANTLY DREAMING

SOMETIMES NEVER KNOWING WHATS REAL

AS TIME KEEPS ON STREAMING

SOMETIMES JUST PASSING ME BY

RIVERS THAT ARE FLOWING

FEEDING FROM STREAMS NEAR-BY

I REMEMBER A DAY

NOT IN A DREAM

WE MET EYE TO EYE

YOUR HAIR WAS LIGHTER

YOUR SMILE WAS BRIGHTER

AND YOUR SKIN MUCH WHITER

IT WAS A DAY LONG AGO

A DAY I REMEMBER

A DAY IN SEPTEMBER

STILL WARM AND COOL AT NIGHT

THERE YOU WERE SITTING ALL ALONE

WITH EMOTIONS AND FEELINGS IN SIGHT

HOPING THAT EVERYTHING WOULD JUST GO AWAY

AND I SAID HELLO

AND YOU LOOKED ME IN THE EYE

LOOKING MOSTLY WITH ANGER

UNTIL THE MOMENT YOU CRIED

YOU MELTED LIKE BUTTER

AND GRABBED HOLD OF ME

HOLDING ME TIGHT, AMONGST THOSE THAT WOULD SEE

SOMEONE THAT WAS CARING, YES THAT WAS ME

SO DO YOU REMEMBER

WHEN I MET YOU IN ANOTHER LIFE
