The Scarlet Pimperneil- When I Look At You Lyrics

MARGUERITE

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

And even though that melody plays on

He's gone

When 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 you

If you could look at me once more

With all the love you felt before

If you and I could disappear into the past

And find that love we knew

I'd never take my eyes away from you

When I look at you

He is touching me

I would reach for him

But who can hold a memory?

And love isn't everything

That moonlight on the bed will melt away

Some day!

Oh, you were once that someone

Who I followed like a star

Then suddenly you changed

And now I don't know who you are

Or could it be

That I never really knew you from the start?

Did I create a dream?

Was he a fantasy?

Even a memory is 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
