When I Look At You Lyrics - Linda Eder

When I Look At You 

When I look at you 

What I always see 

Is the face of someone else 

Who once belonged to me 

Still I can hear him laugh 

Even though that melody plays on 

He's gone 

When I look at you 

He is standing there 

I can almost breathe him in 

like summer in the air 

Why do you smile his smile 

That heaven I'd forgotten eases through 

In you 

If you could look at me once more 

With all the love you felt before 

If you and I could only dance into the past 

And find that love we knew 

I'll never take my eyes away from you 

When I look at you 

He is touching me 

I would reach for him 

But who can hold a memory? 

And love isn't everything 

This moonlight on the bed will melt away someday 

Oh, you were once that someone 

Who I followed like a star 

And suddenly you changed 

And now I don't know who you are 

Or could it be that I never really knew you from the start 

Did I create a dream 

Was he a fantasy 

Even a memory is a paradise for all the fools like me 

Now remembering is all that I can do 

Because I miss him so 

When I look at you
