I caught a glimpse of you

Liner Notes

#justcaughtaglimpse #skirmish Another go at this fine prompt!

Lyrics

A flash of light, a fleeting glance,
 A moment’s grace, all down to chance
 Eyes like stars, the deepest blue 
A world of wonder I just caught a glimpse of you

I wanted more, but it slipped past A shadow dance, too quick to grasp Yet in that glimpse, a spark remains Devastating, like a hurricane

A roll of thunder, in the night Uneasy feeling, something not right I sit and wonder, what might be I caught a glimpse of eternity

I sit and wonder what might be I caught a glimpse I caught a glimpse of you

Your voice is so nice. Some of the emotional builds in this song give me shivers.

I really like the vocals and melody here. Makes me think of how life is full of coincidence and chance that can go in many directions.

Easy tumble of words announcing the hurricane of feelings associated with glimpsing ‘you’. Great write. Fav line “ A shadow dance, too quick to grasp” eluding indeed…
