When I Look at You

When I Look At You

When I look at you

What I always see

Is the face of someone else

Who once belonged to me

Still I can hear him laugh

Even though that melody plays on

He's goneWhen I look at you

He is standing there

I can almost breathe him in

like summer in the air

Why do you smile his smile

That heaven I'd forgotten eases through

In youIf you could look at me once more

With all the love you felt before

If you and I could only dance into the past

And find that love we knew

I'll never take my eyes away from youWhen I look at you

He is touching me

I would reach for him

But who can hold a memory?

And love isn't everything

This moonlight on the bed will melt away somedayOh, you were once that someone

Who I followed like a star

And suddenly you changed

And now I don't know who you are

Or could it be that I never really knew you from the startDid I create a dream

Was he a fantasy

Even a memory is a paradise for all the fools like me

Now remembering is all that I can do

Because I miss him so

When I look at you
