You - Tony Banks

You

 

How strange I never noticed

Your eyes, or the colour of your hair

It seems to me you grow more beautiful

In every way

With every single passing day

Love crept in unseen

Found me wanting

I didn't even have the sense to know

What I was missing

Or what I was soon to feel for

You the laughter

You a reason to live

You the object of all the love I can give

And all that I possess

You who meant nothing when I was younger

 

It seems a memory from another life

Did you ever think we'd meet this way

Feel this way

Did you really even care?

Some changes I foresaw

But not this one

This feeling I would not have understood

Strange to think

I might have lived my whole life without

You the laughter

You a reason to live

You the object of all the love I can give

And all that I possess

You who meant nothing when I was younger

 

Tony Banks: keyboards, guitars, bass, percussion

Written by: Tony Banks

Released: 8 October 1979

 

This is from "A Curious Feeling" it was based on "Flowers For Algernon"by Daniel Keyes. At the time there was a musical being made about the story. Tony Banks changed it a bit so it wouldn't be confusing, or compete directly with it. The musical flopped, but I like the story in the album. This also features one of the most blazing keyboard solos of ever=^.^=
