Reflections

I'm standing here before a window,
I saw a strange reflection there.
I looked around but I was all alone.
It looked like you,
A tall young man with curly hair.

He smiled at me and then he winked
How could he disappear that quick?
I closed my eyes and then I thought
this mind of mine has played a trick.

It reminded me of all the times
I saw you walking down the street
How many times I called out to you,
But when you turned, a strangers eyes I'd meet.

I looked back at the window and it startled me
Did our shadows now appear?
We were walking hand in hand
We were so young, it had to be some other year

I'm spellbound by reflections
Is this glass magic by some chance?
I cannot walk away from it
I have to take another glance

I look again and then I see,
These reflections are not you,
They're only all my memories
Of a young man with eyes of blue.

As I walk away from these reflections,
My heart will look for you along the way
My darling, my dreams will keep you with me
Forever and a day
