Such a long time ago he saw her,
This wonderful woman of song.
He fell under her beautiful spell,
And remembered her all life long.
They went their separate ways in life,
She into the wonderful world of music,
And he into his commercial world,
Never to meet for many years.
Then it happened
They met by chance,
Her career had bloomed,
But now was towards its end.
They talked of their lives
He looking at her in rapture
While they spoke,
Still absolutely entranced.
She said that age had hurt her,
She was not the girl she was,
The vigour and beauty had diminished,
In the life she had led.
He just looked at her,
Looked into her eyes,
Saw this beautiful woman
As he said,
“You say that your beauty
Is no longer there
But it will always remain
If you looked at yourself,
Through my eyes”.
