Fascinating Aida - I Watched Two People lyrics

I wore my satin dress tonight, my silver high-heeled shoes I dabbed my skin with sweet perfume, the one you helped me choose I did my hair the way you like, up in a simple twist You touched my face to take away an eyelash that I missed You said "Let's not go out tonight, let's not go into town" And as you kissed my neck, I said "We can't let people down" And now the evening's over, I don't know what to do I watched two people fall in love, and one of them... Was you And now we're lying only inches apart Though it might be twenty miles And it's a quiet kind of dying inside As I see your radiant smiles The air is loaded with things we cannot say I try to hold you, but you sigh and turn away I tell myself we're not estranged But in one evening, everything's changed You held my hand as we walked in, each detail I recall I moved around the party making small-talk, very small You were soon in conversation with a girl I didn't know She reminded me of someone else: me, ten years ago I found you still there two hours later, long since time to leave I wonder, did you know I saw her hand upon your sleeve? Then you drove home or was it me? The journey is a blur I watched two people fall in love, and one of them... Was her And now we're lying only inches apart Though it might be twenty miles And it's a quiet kind of dying inside As I see your radiant smiles The air is loaded with things we cannot say I try to hold you, but you sigh and turn away I tell myself we're not estranged But in one evening, everything's changed And now two people lie beside each other in the dark One sleeps, the other cannot, and dissects each chance remark The satin dress upon its hanger shimmers like a ghost To illustrate the transience of things we've loved the most The silver shoes are in their box, not kicked aside in haste And as you turn the lights off, your kiss is strangely chaste Now our familiar sanctuary feels terrible and new I watched two people fall in love, and one of them was you And now we're lying only... And it's a quiet kind of... The air is loaded with things we cannot say... I tell myself... Everything's changed.
