Another Time And Place

When first I met you years ago,

in another time and place,

a thought came to my mind,

I'd never seen a kinder face,

or warmer laugh and gentler smile,

or eyes so full of light,

I'd be a fool if I didn't fall,

in love with you that night,

We've tramped around the world my dear,

our fortune was to roam,

but each place that I've been with you,

that place has been my home,

if now I wander on alone,

with no place to abide,

I'll be content for I was sent,

those wanderings at your side,

Love that blossoms in the night,

can't stand the test of time,

it ebbs and flows it comes and goes,

no reason reach nor rhyme,

as each day becomes another day,

each year another year,

I'd trade a year in heaven,

for a day with you my dear,

The miles flow on and I am gone,

to a wild and empty land,

where time's like an empty room,

and space an empty hand,

and the things we said and the jokes we made,

are echoes in the waste,

we'll meet again when hills are green,

in another time and place.

When first I met you years ago,

in another time and place,

a thought came to my mind,

I'd never seen a kinder face,

or warmer laugh and gentler smile,

or eyes so full of light,

I'd be a fool if I didn't fall,

in love with you that night.
