Lyrics
I shall not soon forget the face that smiled
So lovely on me, in the hall last night
For I saw there the radiance of a child
Commingled with maturity's delight
I shall not soon forget the kiss exchanged
The happiness of our embracing eyes
The wonders of a secret trust arranged
We did not dream that love could thus surprise
Strange, is it not, how love will find the place
The time, and even the two for an embrace?
There in the semi-dark your heart let slip
Love's gleaming from your eyes, and so, unplanned
All of my life's love, I laid upon your lip
All my life's dream, I pressed into your hand
