Sometimes in the night

I awake to your voice calling

From a time when we were young

A song we never sung

Our lives had just begin

Dancing in my head

I react to our hands holding

Our embrace with smiles that beam

In your eyes I saw the gleam

Again last night, or so it seemed

When I awake, it’s there to see

It wasn’t you who danced with me

I was a victim of the night

Yet it never felt so right

Just shadows dancing in the night

Holding you again

I saw the starlight in your eyes

The scent of your perfume

Sent my soul across the moon

Our dancing ended all too soon

Sparkles in your eyes

Our laughter filled the air

We danced like way back when

Two souls that wouldn’t blend

Yes we had it all back then

When I awake, it’s there to see

It wasn’t you who danced with me

I was a victim of the night

Yet it never felt so right

Just shadows dancing in the night

Gifts from God are sent

But we didn’t pay attention

My love, I wished you knew

I know it was hard on you

You saw it in me too

Why does this love sing

Some songs never are sung again

We had a chance to shine

We should have felt so fine

Guess we learn with passing time

When I awake, it’s there to see

It wasn’t you who danced with me

I was a victim of the night

Yet it never felt so right

Just shadows dancing in the night
