What
sweet surprise, what strange delight
To
find myself this
On
wings across the miles to you ...
I
wonder if you miss me too
My
soul's aglow, my mind's aflame
Among
this city's ancient names
Who
led the Renaissance in art
And
stoked the embers of my heart
A
thousand sights, a thousand smells
A
thousand stories each one tells
And
so I'm wishing you were here
Imagining that you are near
A
time too short, an end too soon
A
drifting cloud across the moon
A
dream beneath the starry skies
The
darkest hour before sunrise
