I float as in a dream around the edges
She's coming in a nighttime summer dress
Remembering the last thing that she said was
She laughed - and now I don't recall the rest
Like sparkling summer sun dance on the water
There's something in her that I've never seen
It's been a hundred years since I last saw her
Or at least to my tired eyes that's how it seems
For so many years
Or maybe just a day
It's been a long, long time
I'm not gonna say I didn't fight back tears
'Cause if I said that I'd be lying
And now it's just another day
There's just a few hours between us now
And I can't wait to hear you say
"It's been a long time but I love you anyhow"
For so many years
Or maybe just a day
It's been a long, long time
I'm not gonna say I didn't fight back tears
'Cause if I said that I'd be lying
And now it's just another day
There's just a few hours between us now
And I can't wait to hear you say
"It's been a long time but I love you anyhow"
The time has arrived and I see her
She turns and greets me with a smile
And then we embrace and I ask her
To sit down and talk for a while
Like sparkling summer sun dance on the water
There's something in her that I've never seen
It's been a hundred years since I last saw her
Or at least to my tired eyes that's how it seems
For so many years
Or maybe just a day
It's been a long, long time
I'm not gonna say I didn't fight back tears
'Cause if I said that I'd be lying
And now it's just another day
There's just a few hours between us now
And I can't wait to hear you say
"It's been a long time but I love you anyhow"
Just another day
And the sun is out shining bright
And I can't wait to hear you say
That "When it gets cold I'll keep you warm all through the night"
"It's been a long time but I love you anyhow"
And now we're together, nothing can stop us now
Just another day
