Another time, another place,

I was the one

Who held you tight,

On long winter nights,

Waiting for the sun.

Another time, another place,

I was your treasure

To each we were dear,

We'd nothing to fear,

Knowing only endless pleasure.

Another time, another place,

My heart belonged to you.

I've known it so long,

I feel it so strong,

Please say that it's true.

Another time, another place,

Your eyes were for me.

Must I now wait,

For the hands of fate,

To bring you back to me.

Another time, another place,

Will you love me again?

Until we are together,

I will yearn forever,

For all that must have been....and could be again.
