about

Quite an old song about someone I never thought I would see again - and then I did!

lyrics

She had a smile like yours, always half amused
So is it any wonder if I get confused?
And from time to time I have to double take and sigh
When I realise my mistake

I hold this paper up to the light - I see the watermark
In between the sheets - she is the watermark

She had eyes like yours, soft and sad
Focused middle distance on the bad luck she'd had
And from time to time, I blink and you're gone
And it's her face, that I focus on

I hold this paper up to the light - I see the watermark
In between the sheets - she is the watermark

She had a heart like yours, black as night
When all the stars are shining bright
She blazed down on me like the sun
The shadow lingers long after she's gone

I hold this paper up to the light - I see the watermark
In between the sheets - she is the watermark
