Notes About The Poem

This was inspired by the musical score and theme song to the film Somewhere In Time.  film was inspired by the book Bid Time Return.

Somewhere In Time

Somewhere in time, my love will find you
Across the future’s past, our eyes will meet, at last
Somewhere in time, my hand will reach you
And take you in,  my arms,  to stay evermore

A photograph;  a trace of your day
A mystic smile’s the key, to light my way to thee
A mystic smile,  to guide me some way
Back to your time,  and place,  yesterday once more

Bid time return
Turn back the hands
Erase the dates, of calendars of years we never had
Somewhere in time, I know you’re waiting
Bid time return

Music already existed. it was the theme by John Barry to the film Somewhere In Time (1980) with Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeves. Here's an extract http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0t87PPlpMg
