Paroles de The Last Time I Saw Her

The last time I saw her face,
Her eyes were bathed in starlight and her hair hung long
The last time she spoke to me,
Her lips were like the scented flowers inside a rain-drenched forest
But that was so long ago that I can scarcely feel the way I felt before
And if time could heal the wounds,
I would tear the threads away that I might bleed some more
The last time I walked with her
Her laughter was the steeple bells
That ring to greet the morning sun
A voice that called to everyone
To love the ground she walked upon
Those were good day
The last time I held her hand,
Her touch was autumn, spring and summer, and winter too
The last time I let go of her, she walked a way into the night
I lost her in the misty streets,
A thousand months, a thousand miles
When other lips will kiss her eyes
A million miles beyond the moon, that's where she is
But that was so long ago that I can scarcely feel the way I felt before
And if time could heal the wounds,
I would tear the threads away that I might bleed some more
The last time I saw her face,
Her eyes were bathed in starlight and she walked alone
The last time she kissed my cheek Beneath a battered marking stone
It lies forgotten
