That year the fog would climb the beach And wrapped us out of reach From search lights that the sky was sending I knew you first, I knew you best I knew you from the rest I knew you when the spring was ending
As time takes hold, you may fear, we’re growing old But in my brain I will see you as you were And you’ll remain
The timeless you Of now and then It’s only me I knew you when
