When I Look At You - Linda Eder

When I look at you

What i always see

Is the face of someone else who once belonged to me

Still i can hear him laugh

And even though that melody plays on

Hes gone

When i look at you

He is standing there

I can almost breathe him in

Like summer in the air

Why do you smile his smile

That heaven had forgotten is it true

In you

If you could look at me once more

With all the love you felt before

If you and i could dance into the past

And find that love we knew

I’d never take my eyes away from you

When i look at you

He is touching me

I would reach for him

But who can hold a memory

And love isn’t every thing

That moonlight on the bed will melt away

Someday

Oh you were once that someone

Who i followed like a star

Then suddenly you changed

And now i don’t know who you are

Or could it be

That i never really knew you from the start

Did i create a dream?

Was he a fantasy?

Even a memory is paradise for all the fools like me

Now remembering is all that i can do

Because i miss him so

When I look at you
