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.
