Once I, yes I had a love so true His skin so dark, yet his eyes so blue His eyes like fire in the night! Like a flame ever burning bright Where are you on a starry night? When will you come on back to me?
We loved each other a summer through The days went by, you know how they do And all those nights by your side Knowing sureley it couldn't be Come the morning one day and he - he`d been gone, gone and on his way
We talked together for hours a day Discussing plans, things we'd want to say To change the world go away Find a place just to hideaway! We could go, yes we run away We would find, find our hideaway Today - Away - Hideaway
As storm came up on that rainy day The sky was dark as I heard him say Yes, I'll be back, never fear! I'll be back, just you wait, my dear So I wait, yes I wait, right here Will I ever see him again? - Again?
We talked together for hours a day Discussing plans, things we'd want to say To change the world go away Find our place just to hideaway! We could go, yes we run away We would find, find our hideaway
Once I, yes I had a love so true His skin so dark, yet his eyes so blue His eyes like fire in the night! Like a flame ever glowing bright Where are you on a starry night? When will you come on back to me?
