This is one of my favourites, it says so much about some people I've known for ever.... many of whom I've just not met yet....

I did try searching it but it isn't in the DT, it's by Richard Grainger (I think), and I'm sorry if the line breaks bugger themselves.

Every time I close my eyes
I dream that when I open them,
You're there again, there again
In my arms again:

Every time I hear the tune
See singers in the crowded room
A sea of faces through the smoke
The band goes on to turn a tune.
Through visions of a Morris dance,
You and I exchange a glance
Wishing you were next to me
Wishing you were here with me.

Every time I close my eyes
I dream that when I open them:

We'll take a drink; I'll have a smoke
Sing me heart, share a joke,
The band will play a melody
And we will be in harmony.
Can we stand against the tide?
Take my hand, watch spirits glide
The band will play a heavy din,
Take my hand let the dance begin

Every time I close my eyes
I dream that when I open them,
You're there again, there again
In my arms again.

One last look hearts like lead
Winds have changed blowing ahead
From town to town I sing of you,
And every song, I'll sing for you.
You came to me and took my hand
Strangers in a foreign land
Strangers met, friends to part
Now our dance is about to start.
