Always

On a warm summer morning on Dublin's fair streets A man and a woman just happened to meet As their eyes came together a vision he saw A look at their future he watched it in awe He saw their tomorrow and new love's faint glow He saw their first date at the old picture show He asked her to stay and she answered "ALWAYS" That word would be present through all of their days I'm lost in your eyes love I don't mean to stare I don't mean to linger but I've seen you somewhere It was in a dream that was marked by one word Perhaps you might know it? Perhaps you have heard? His vision moved forward to their sweet wedding day His bride was resplendent - a simple bouquet When the vows came her way She responded "ALWAYS" The moment was perfect he wished he could stay I'm lost in your eyes love I don't mean to stare I don't mean to linger but I've seen you somewhere It was in a dream that was marked by one word Perhaps you might know it? Perhaps you have heard? His vision moved onward to them gray and old Their hands still entwined a life story retold As his last night appeared he said "Love please stay near" And "ALWAYS" she answered "My love please don't fear" Like that it was over His vision was done She stood there before him - she shone in the sun A lifetime he'd lived While lost in her eyes And so he sang to her this soft lullaby "I'm lost in your eyes love I don't mean to stare I don't mean to linger but I've seen you somewhere It was in a dream that was marked by one word Perhaps you might know it? Perhaps you have heard?" They paused for a moment Her eyes were drawn wide She opened her purse Drew a pen from inside On paper she scribbled and passed him a note: T'was "ALWAYS" she'd written One word that she wrote "I'm lost in your eyes love it's okay to stare It's okay to linger Yes we have met somewhere It was in a dream That was marked by one word That word love was "ALWAYS" And yes it was heard
