If He Were Here Now
[NATASHA]
If he were here now
I would not be so silly and afraid of things
I would simply embrace him
Cling to him
And lost in his eyes
His childlike eyes
I wouldn't feel so lost

If he were here now
I'd make him laugh as he used to laugh
I'd make him smile his smile
Blush his blush
I would stare into those eyes
Oh how I see those eyes
I love him alone
Nothing else matters
But that face and those eyes
Where is he?

Better not to think of it
Better to forget him for the present
Oh but if he were here now
The lights in the streetlamps flicker in the snow
So sad and in love
So softened and tender
So lost and young
And I don't know where I'm going
