"I Saw Her Again"

This is a sequel to “I Saw Her.” Not a very good one. A throwaway song. Still, in the interest of completeness, here it is. My only intent at this point is getting my stuff out there into the world. Let others judge it as they may. Of course the next step is to get myself out into the world. I tend to be a homebody, which is not good for an entertainer. Since the Boston move fell apart back in June, I’ve really been a hermit. I went from doing 5-10 gigs a week to doing none. This is the holiday season, which should be my busiest time of year, yet I have nothing on my performance schedule other than my usual Sunday church accompanying job, and Tuba Christmas next weekend.

I Saw Her Again

© 1989 Brian Hutzell

I saw her

What a funny feeling to see her again

Never thought I’d be so near her again

Near enough to see her

Near enough to see her

I touched her

What a funny feeling to touch her again

Never thought I’d be so near her again

Near enough to touch her

Near enough to touch her

I’m reminded of the time we met – can’t forget

The spaghetti where we went, you and I – tasted fine

And the one thing I recall more than all the rest

Is how we said goodnight

We were standing at your door

I was staring at the floor in fright

I kissed her

What a funny feeling to kiss her again

Never thought I’d be so near her again

Near enough to kiss her

Close enough to kiss her

Now I stop and I step through the fog

But I’m not trying to set back the clock

I loved her

What a funny feeling to love her again

Never thought I’d be so near her again

Near enough to love her

Close enough to love her
