I Saw You Today

I saw you today And, through the distant years, It all came back. Two people, young and sheltered, So unwary of the snares We now know well. You're now a woman But still brown and very beautiful, You haven't changed. She took your place - oh, what a face, Didn't think I needed you But I was wrong. She came and she went out Upon a voyage, it seems She's never coming back For now you both are gone It seems so long ago I was a Happy man. I saw you today It didn't seem as if You're coming back. I saw myself today It didn't seem as if I'm coming back. And lo upon the hills I see a shadow pass To the other side - We must accept these things. Oh, how I love you. Oh, how I love you.
