In the bustling crowd, our eyes happened to meet
with the very same smile as you, from that day long ago
before I could call your name, you slipped into the surging crowd
and your figure was already gone from sight
it was a meeting of only the briefest moment
and yet, surely, it had to have been you
like the moon in the night sky slipping behind the clouds
We meet again — but was it really you?
not knowing for certain, the night deepens on
was that truly you, I wonder
or was it only a dream that I had seen?
the midnight moon, hidden away behind the clouds
and my reaching hand never quite catches up
I never even got to ask how to find you again
I can't remember the words we said in parting
and yet tonight, I find myself remembering
your voice, and the look within your eyes
because it was a meeting of only the briefest moment
it lingers this deeply, etched within my heart
like the moon in the night sky breaking through the clouds
We meet again — but was it really you?
not knowing for certain, the time keeps flowing on
was that truly you, I wonder
and yet, surely, there was a light
the midnight moon, hidden away behind the clouds
within my memory, it is shining even now
We met — but was it you? — before I could even tell
the midnight moon had hidden away behind the clouds
We meet again — but was it really you?
surely by now, I no longer need an answer
because it was but a moment, it was beautiful
because I never made certain, it became eternal
the midnight moon, hidden away behind the clouds
that moon of that night, somewhere even now
must still be shining down on someone
