The Face I See

The Face I See - Various Artists

I've seen this face so many times

Taking off my mask to end the day

Yet tonight this seems a different face

A face I had but somehow lost along the way

The face I see

Is young once more

He kissed me once

And all at once I remembered

A time past remembering

A time lost and longed for

A time that was new

He was in my arms for a moment

One brief endless moment

He carried me back

To something I knew

Before there was you

The face I see

I've seen before

We kissed just once

Now look at me

I'm a schoolgirl

I blush like a schoolgirl

I drift in a daydream

It's a whim Marguerite

Just a whim let it go

Any thought of him

Long ago I turned away from this

Love was just for fools the young in years

It starts in bliss

It ends in tears

If he stood behind the door now

I'd be there I would fall into his arms and now

Wouldn't care maybe even start believing

That my life can begin once more

The face I see

Has seen the world

A world gone mad

The hopes I had

That led me nowhere

The roads I've never taken

My dreams all forsaken

That never could be

Yet still I feel

His lips

His trace

And this face I see
