ONCE IN SHADOW


I loved you, though you never knew it
I sat and heard you sing
I could hear the angels weep
And though my face is hidden
And yours is shown abroad
I knew I needed you
As much as you needed me
I never knew that
Love could overpower a soul
Or that the soul could feel such pain
The pain I felt when first I saw you
And knew my life would
Never be the same
Until today I was lost and alone
Until today I had no one
And then...I saw you

Once I saw you
I knew right away
Once I heard you
I knew you had to stay
Close to me
Near my reach
Though it was never meant to be
I loved you once in shadow

There I stood
Hoping with all my heart
That I'd hear your voice
The voice of my angel
And knowing I never would
What kind of life
Is it I'm meant to lead?
For once I heard you
Love overpowered me
When first I saw you
Revulsion filled me
And now I know the truth
Our love is meant to be
And though you doubt the truth
Now I know for sure
And now I know
I can tell you the truth

Once you saw me
You knew right away
Once you heard me
You knew I had to stay
Close to you
Near your reach
Though you thought it could not be
You loved me once in shadow

Our love is a love
Never meant to be known
Our love is a love
Most cannot see
They don't understand
The feelings that we have
Or the reason why our
Souls are at peace
They look at you and see
A woman like no other
They look at you and see
A monster- not what I see
When I look at you
I know who's inside
The person I love
And now I know

Once I saw you
I knew right away
Once you heard me
You knew I had to stay
Close to me
Near your reach
Though it was never meant to be
I/you loved you/me once in shadow
