It comes back to him in a flash of sight
The moment they met under carnival lights
Once 'round the dance floor led to two or three more
He was looking looking at her
He was looking at his lifelong dream
Off to the church in a white dress she beams
Her steady smile all that he sees
He was looking looking at her
How long ago was that house by the creek
A hearty home built with their four hands to feed
One little babe turned to two or three more
He was looking looking at her
Their days they slowed to a familiar dance
His thoughts stuck spinning in a nervous glance
As names he forgets turns to two or three more
He was looking looking at her
He was looking to her for the key
The world around him ain't as it seems
Her steady smile all that he sees
He was looking looking at her
His mind stills to a blank revery
Her face fades from his memory
All their years shadows on the floor
He was looking looking at her
He was looking looking at her
He was looking looking at her
