I Met You Once...
I met you once...
In an English court
You were a lord
I a lowly servant girl
And I lived and I died
Yearning for something that could not be
I met you once...
On a cobblestone street in Paris
I sold you a rose
You gave it to the woman
Who was to be your bride
And my sadness consumed me
I met you once...
In and Italian opera house
You sat in the balcony
As my voice floated to the rafters
Carrying a song of unrequited love
And you wept at the bitter truth of my words
I met you once...
In a brothel out west
You were an outlaw
Just passing through
And I touched you
And I loved you
And you left
I met you once...
Just moments ago
You smiled
And I smiled
And I knew you
And I knew
