When I Saw Your Face

When I saw your face (it was then I knew, we would be together) Clouds of grey, filled my day With no hope, of finding a pure love On it goes, in the throes of a tortured state, and almost giving up Bridge 1 This disappointment, severs all, illusions of my heart And visions of a future love, are paused before they start Chorus Then I saw your face, and then I knew, we would be together When I saw your face, it was then I knew, we would be together Just one gaze- set ablaze, dying embers of a hope, nearing it’s end Joyous days- are here to stay, broken pieces of my soul, begin to mend Bridge 2 When confessions of forever love, we whisper in our ears The dammed emotions, they break free, and wash away our fears Chorus Then I saw your face, and then I knew, we would be together When I saw your face, it was then, I knew, we would be together Chorus Then I saw your face, and then I knew, we would be together When I saw your face, it was then, I knew, we would be together Repeat chorus and fade John Derek Hamilton June 14,2018
