I Saw You Today (1980) Lyrics

[From the album Private Parts And Pieces II: Back To The Pavillion]

I saw you today
And through the distant years
It all came back.

Two people young and sheltered
So unwary of the snares
But we now know where

And now a woman that's still brown
And very beautiful
You haven't changed

She took your place
Ohh what a face
Didn't think I needed you
But I was wrong

She came and she went out
Upon a voyage at sea
She's never coming back

But now you both are gone at sea
So long ago
I was a happy man

I saw you today
It didn't seem as if you're coming back

I saw myself today
It didn't seem as if I'm coming back

And low upon the hills
I see a shadow pass to the other side
We must accept these things

Oh how I love you (I saw you today)
Oh how I love you (I saw you today)
Oh how I love you (I saw you today)
Oh how I love you (Oh how I love you)
