Shadow Dancer
This is for Karen H...
You've been shadow dancing in my mind,
And memories start to unwind,
You were in love but I was blind
So many years ago.
We were so young that yesterday,
Two children acting out a play,
I missed a cue and lost my way,
And fool, I let you go.
Now, do you ever think of me,
Do I appear in reverie,
And is it sweet the memory,
Or have you let it go?
I still have your photograph,
And I could swear I hear your laugh,
It nearly breaks my heart in half
Its music haunts me so.
Of all the loves I keep among my souvenirs,
One memory's remained unchanged and now it's clear,
You were my favorite love,
That was my favorite year.
