I Saw the Light

I heard the warm wind whisper in the wood
I heard the music float across the field
I saw the sunshine smiling in the sky
I saw the light in your eyes

Sunlight on the trees
Flowers in the meadow
Swaying to the breeze

I saw the mountains cradling the moon
I heard the treetops tickling the sky
I felt a river roll across the land
I felt your hand in my hand

Moonlight on the sill
Owls in the darkness
Calling from the hills

I heard the warm wind whisper in the wood
I heard the music float across the field
I saw the sunshine smiling in the sky
I saw the light
I saw the light
I saw the light in your eyes

I had managed to get a date with a Romanian girl and was all a-flutter in anticipation.

I looked up Romania on the World Book Encyclopedia CD-ROM and found beautiful pastoral images that flowed straight into these lyrics.

The date was a disaster but I've always been fond of the song.
