A piano song from another time .....

lyrics

Twelve O'Clock in Greenwich ( words and music by Abigail Joffe)

I met you in the doorway of the Dorchester Hotel
On a boat on the Atlantic , we were riding out the swell
In New York on the sidewalk with the traffic rushing by
Oh where will I meet you next time ?

The first time that we met was on a plaza in Madrid
On a cliff above Ceann Trá, we made our marriage bed
High up on a mountain pass, the wind was rushing by
Where, will I meet you, next time ?

Through so many centuries
Through so many lives
searching for a face I recognise
When will be reacquainted, when will we be free
To look directly, in each other’s eyes ?

In a bar in Portugal I met you once again
The last time was in Paris, we were busking by the Seine
At twelve o clock inn Greenwich, we met right on the line
Where, will I meet you, next time?


Through so many centuries
Through so many lives
searching for a face I recognise
When will be reacquainted, when will we be free
To look directly in each other’s eyes ?
