I Thought I Saw You

I thought I saw you moving in the shadows Drifting through the silence of the night How brightly shone your eyes that were upon me A vision oh so beauteous to my sight For though you are now gone and I am weeping To spend my life without you by my side I know that somewhere fixed within the darkness Your light will shine forever as my guide I’m reaching out, my darling, so to touch you But you are just an image in my mind And though I’ll never once more hear you breathing Your heart with mine shall ever be entwined I thought I saw you moving in the shadows Along the bridge of death’s long road you passed Shimmering in the dark there as a phantom To find eternal peacefulness at last And I shall linger here set deep in sorrow Alone, in solitude, no more with you Full knowing that, one day, we’ll be together Again our love to shine forever true
