Seeing You Again
Dan Fogelberg · Portrait: Music Of Dan Fogelberg From 1972-1997 [1997]
In a foggy dream so many years ago
Strangers in an airport
Searching for the word to break the ice
Holding you again, even for the briefest moment
Made me realize how much I love you still
Wanting you to want me
Still not knowing if you ever will
Seeing you again, seeing you again
Was the sweetest torture I may ever know
Seeing you again, seeing you again
Made me wish I'd never let you go
Seeing you again, running free along the beaches
Where our shadows first began to intertwine
Listening to your laughter
Wishing that your love could still be mine
Seeing you again, seeing you again
Was the sweetest torture I may ever know
Seeing you again, oh seeing you again
Made me wish I'd never let you go
Did you only come to say you're sorry
Or give it one more try
Or did you only need to see
There was nothing left for me
Inside worth saving
Running for your train
You smiled back through the doorway
Like you used to when our hearts still beat as one
And as I turned away, I knew the lonely days had just begun
Seeing you again, seeing you again
Was the sweetest torture I may ever know
Seeing you again, oh seeing you again
Made me wish I'd never let you go
Seeing you again, seeing you again
Was the sweetest torture I may ever know
Seeing you again, seeing you again
Made me wish I'd never let you go
