Lyrics

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
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 only dance into the past
And find that love we knew
I'll 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
This moonlight on the bed will melt away someday

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 a paradise for all the fools like me
Now remebering is all that I can do
Because I miss him so
When I look at you
