I Thought I Saw You

I thought I saw you

I thought I saw you

On the morning of a cloudless sky

Out of the corner of my eye

I thought I saw you

Saw you again

I thought I heard you

I thought I heard you

Was it the remnant of a breeze?

Or the dancing of fallen leaves?

I thought I heard you

Heard you again

On a cool breeze

In the middle of the afternoon

There’s a fragrance in the air

And I turn so fast to find it

That I stumble and I’m blinded

By the sunlight and the stillness

And the blueness and the glare

And then I swear I see your radiance

I swear I see your radiance

I swear I see your radiance

And I stand up slow, catch my breath

The world’s a tender gray now

A bird flies on the hillside, takes his respite from the day now

How much do we bear?

I’ve tended my despair

A glass half full , a glass half empty

Take the glass and break it

You’re not there!

I thought I saw you

I thought I saw you

And I did.  For a moment

In the silence of a moment

Was a heart beating

Forever
