Singing Softly To Me

Things seem so much better when
They're not part of your close surroundings
Like words in a letter sent
Amplified by the distance
Possibilities and sweeter dreams
Sights and sounds calling form far away
Calling from far away.

I didn't know you then now did I girl?
I couldn't hear you singing softly to me
I didn't know you then now did I girl?
I didn't see the brave girl so near me
I didn't know you then now did I girl?
I couldn't hear you sing softly to me.

I wanted a mystery that couldn't be solved
I wanted a puzzle with pieces missing
I wanted a story that couldn't be told
Only the fishing part of fishing.

I didn't know you then now did I girl?
I couldn't hear you singing softly to me
I didn't know you then now did I girl?
I didn't see the brave girl so near me
I didn't know you then now did I girl?
I couldn't hear you sing softly to me.

And now I find
It was you all the time
I'm in love again
It's too late now.
