lyrics

The Fleeting You

I stood and watched you from the crowd
How could it be that you’re so beautiful?
How could it be
That you’re so beautiful?

Some folks were screaming awfully loud
But I was perfectly enthralled by you
I didn’t hear
I didn’t hear a single sound.

*

I saw you stand out from the crowd
Is it a spell you cast, like lovers do?
A favor asked –
Is it a rope you threw?

When even prouder heads are bowed
In daily lives and somewhat narrow views
I stood and stared
I stood and dared – just to look at you

*

Now, I’ll return back to the crowd
The fleeting you I saw was wonderful
The fleeting you
Almost meeting you, there – in the crowd.
