I Saw You Today (1980) Lyrics - Singles - Phillips Anthony

[From the album Private Parts And Pieces II: Back To The Pavillion] 

I saw you today 

And through the distant years 

It all came back. 

Two people young and sheltered 

So unwary of the snares 

But we now know where 

And now a woman that's still brown 

And very beautiful 

You haven't changed 

She took your place 

Ohh what a face 

Didn't think I needed you 

But I was wrong 

She came and she went out 

Upon a voyage at sea 

She's never coming back 

But now you both are gone at sea 

So long ago 

I was a happy man 

I saw you today 

It didn't seem as if you're coming back 

I saw myself today 

It didn't seem as if I'm coming back 

And low upon the hills 

I see a shadow pass to the other side 

We must accept these things 

Oh how I love you (I saw you today) 

Oh how I love you (I saw you today) 

Oh how I love you (I saw you today) 

Oh how I love you (Oh how I love you)
