lyrics

The Face That Smiled (Strange)

I shall not soon forget the face that smiled
So lovely on me, in the hall last night,
For I saw there the radiance of a child,
Commingled with maturity’s delight.

I shall not soon forget the kiss exchanged,
The happiness of our embracing eyes,
The wonders of a secret trust arranged;
We did not dream that love could thus surprise.

Strange, is it not, how love will find the place,
The time, and even the two for an embrace?

There in the semi-dark your heart let slip
Love’s gleaming from your eyes, and so, unplanned,
All of my life’s love, all my life’s dream

All of my life’s love, I laid upon your lip,
All my life’s dream, I pressed into your hand.

Strange, is it not, how love will find the place,
The time, and even the two for an embrace?
