Greg Brown - If I Ever Do See You Again lyrics

We walk through the park down by the river I kissed you underneath the linden tree Your eyes said you would love me forever Your mouth said "let's go home now, hurry please" Sometimes I still see your little child That we never had running to you He is blond and firm of limb, but when I call out to him He smiles and disappears into the blue I can taste your softly urgent kisses Hear your voice say "will you do everything?" Smell the rain that falls on pines and birches And see the way your summer dress would cling Twenty years a couple busted phone calls Letters that I had nowhere to send I'd have to laugh I'd have to cry, looking deep into your eyes If I ever do see you again I'd have to laugh I'd have to cry, looking deep into your eyes If I ever do see you again
