Lyrics
You came to me late one steamy August night
It was the summer of ninety nine
Was it a dream? I saw the world in a new light
As you held your hand in mine
Through your eyes, I learned of love and how to trust
You were all that I could see
But fate would have his way with us
Cause we were never meant to be
Still, I?ve seen you dancing with the moon
And I have watched you,
run through fields of spring in bloom
And I wanted so to beg for you to stay
But each time I?d catch my breadth?..
and watch you?.and watch you dance away
Thinking of what might have been preys on my mind
Regrets don?t go away
Running fast and running out of time
We?ll meet another day
Still, I?ve seen you dancing with the moon
I have watched you, run through fields of spring in bloom
And I wanted so to beg for you to stay
But each time I?d catch my breadth?..
and watch you?.and watch you dance away
You are that child of my dreams and I have to let you go
The happy family theme, and I would have loved you so
You are my little girl, the child, I?ll never know
But I?ve seen you dancing with the moon
have watched you, skip through fields of spring in bloom
And I wanted so to beg for you to stay
But each time I?d catch my breadth?..
and watch you?.and watch you dance away
I?d watch you, I?d watch you dance away
You are the child I?ll never know
