One Way Street [We Will Remember]

A long time ago
When Our Fancy ran wild
You were a princess
And I, a wizard's child
But the mist of the years
Filled our eyes
Mixin' the blessin's With the lies
Leavin' the lines
Engraved on my face
A star crossed dreamer
Lookin' for his place

Chorus
We will remember
Love tonight
We will remember
Love so right
Love Oh Love
Our eyes will never agin meet
Passin' Up Love
Love on a one way street

Rememberin'a face as it looks in from the past
That lingers a moment
Then fades at last
I wanted you then
And I want you now
To touch you the way words won't allow
But I can't think of a way
To bring your heart to me
For between you and i
Are the things we might be.

Chorus
We will remember
Love tonight
We will remember
Love so right
Love Oh Love
The touch is incomplete
Makin' Up Love
Love on a one way street

Seein' so deeply
Across the quickenin' night
Reaching to hold
The infinite light
That flows with the tide
To this bleak and rocky shore
Calling for me to love
Deeply once more
I close my eyes
And the vision fades away
As I listen for the words
I know you'll never say

Chorus
We will remember
Love tonight
We will remember
Love so right
Love Oh Love
Our souls were bound to meet
Finding Love

Love on a one way street
