I saw you tonight, in a brand new light I let go of all my preconceived notions The beliefs that kept you at arms length That kept me safe and alone I saw you tonight, for the first time As a man, and a friend, and someone I wish I could know more intimately Without walls and fences I saw you tonight, in a truer way I thought I’d never own Than I had allowed myself to before You laughed with an ease I never knew And I felt for the first time, I saw you.
