Harlem

I was alone in the place

When you came up to greet me

With a smile on your face

Said it was nice to meet me

You said it was your birthday

And that is was your first day

To meet a girl who has my attitude, it's true

Then we started to spark

A witty conversation

Repartee afterdark

And a little celebration

I never did expect it

To feel so well connected

To a stranger who was only passing through

We shared the night, we shared the dawn

With memories for our recalling

When we said goodbye

You looked in my eyes

And said that you'd see me

Maybe sometime

So i said my farewell

But felt a tinge of sadness

Cuz i've been there before

In the mystery of magic

It could be everlasting

Or it may never happen

I'll never know until the story ends, my friend

What do i do, if you don't follow through

Will you be too timid to call me

Do i care too much or maybe not enough

To know what to do

To know if its true

Now you're out on your own

And i don't know if i'll see you

But all that i know

Is it was nice to meet you

It never could have started

Without that trip to harlem

I was stranger who was only passing through

In Harlem when i met you
