about

a song I improvised live in front of a beautiful friend of mine, on an island paradise called Saint Barthélémy, in he Caribbean... She never knew I wrote the song for her...

lyrics

I dreamt I saw you like a breeze above the tree line;
you changed the colors of the leaves as you passed by;
with your caress, they learnt to breathe.
I stood there suffocating in a hidden creek beneath-
I watched you from a distance like a thief…
Then opened up my soul and breathed you in…

I close my eyes, open my heart,
your secrets flow in from the dark,
I must have dreamt you;
I fell in love with the idea of you long before I even met you…
so easy to hide within my skin, to hold the dreams I’ve dreamt,
live the life I’ve lived, but lose the Time I’ve spent,
still I can’ help but feel that you were…
No, I can’t help but feel inside that you were… the one

You, you are the one I was waiting for all these years,
You, you are the one I was waiting for all these …
You, you are the one I was waiting for all these years..

I woke up this morning, the pillow by my side
was a valley already cold;
But if I lost myself within I could still catch your scent
lingering in it’s folds,
and the words you whispered haunt me like an echo,
“The heart is just a game, Love rules the pain,,,”
You gave me back a hope I had forsaken…

You, you are the one I was waiting for all these years,
You, you are the one I was waiting for all these …
You, you are the one I was waiting for all these years..
without even knowing it…
