I saw you, Kimberly, with starry eyes
and horses in your hair,
you moved like the wind
that stirred the tears in my eyes
sunken in loneliness,
I saw you, darling, in the moonlight
of my dreams, wearing a strange
perfume in the desert of cars
and noisy streets and neon signs,
I saw you, Kimberly, right then and there
and I loved you like a fallen
leaf that caresses the humid ground,
I saw you, darling, a solitary star
in the sky of my despair,
your hands were like wings as
you let my imagination fly
through the mist and the clouds,
and my thoughts were of you, O Kimberly,
O shining Kimberly, the gem of my heart,
the silver bell inside my soul,
O Kimberly, Kimberly, Kimberly,
amidst the sea of tears...
Your passion had taken me away
to mysterious lands and mystic silences,
I saw you, darling, in a white dress,
delicate like a flower,
and I loved you right then and there...
