I Thought I Saw You

lyrics

I Thought I Saw You

I thought I saw you where the weeping willows grow
Down by the river wearing someone else’s clothes
Then the wind did change and softly touch my brow
As if to say, I am with you now

But when I looked again you were no longer there
Not but a shadow held my world of stormy care
I’d sworn remembrance soon forgotten with the day
Everything appears to pass away

I thought I saw you but my seeing was in vain
When all I wanted was to see you once again
I thought I saw you where the hills of evening glow
You were wearing someone else’s clothes
