When I meet you one day (one day)
will you know to see me
Will you draw toward me instinctively
and will you stay
When I meet you one day (one day)
will the words be spoken
in a silent moment
unseen in an evident way
I know what I will do
when I discover you
I know what I'll say
when I meet you one day
When I meet you one day (one day)
will we crumble helpless
in a rush of moments
so terrible in their relief
When I meet you one day (one day)
will we tumble hopeless
in a brush of fate
that leaves everyone in disbelief
Admittedly I hold
so little promise, though
I know what I'll say
when I meet you one day
Well I know the grey that fortunes hold
so unstable as a future sold
and I know that changes often run from time
but I can't degrade a will of soul
and I won't defame the strength I own
so I'll keep the farthest distance from the crime
When I meet you one day (one day)
will a pure conviction
put away the fiction
of hope as the food of the lame
When I meet you one day (one day)
Will the tired jury
run away or hurry
to parcel out more of the same
I know what I will see
when you discover me
I know what I'll say
when I meet you one day
