When I Look at You
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,
He's 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 I'd forgotten eases through in you

If you could look at me once more,
With all the love you felt before -
If you and I could disappear 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 ev'rything
That moonlight on the bed will melt away some day!
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
