That Tantalising Face

There is a face lives in my mind, has been there since my birth It may have been quite blurred at first, imagination knew it's worth I knew what I was looking for, though times I must admit I thought I saw you here or there, would feel like I'd been hit As I grew up I saw you less, my mind would be elsewhere So busy with my life as such, I seemed without a care Then one day I was walking, on a beach down near the waves I saw your face there in the foam, it brought back early days But this time it was far more clear, with substance and 3D I knew I had to start again, search for the one for me I took a holiday from work, to travel round the world Hoping fate would take me to you, my life became unfurled Once I had been a steady lad, but that was in the past I'm sure if I can find you, there will be a love to last Saw many girls so beautiful, I traveled here and there But I never saw the one, to lay my feelings bare My life went on I met my wife, the hole was always there The face I had been searching for, could not find anywhere Then when my baby daughter born, stood rooted in my place The little girl my wife gave me, that tantalising face
