Merry Christmas, everyone

This song has always struck me, ever since I first saw it years ago. It's by Vonda Shepard for the serial Ally Mc Beal .



I know him/ her by heart


There's a secret path I follow
To a place no one can find
Where I meet my perfect someone
I've kept hidden in my mind
Where my heart makes my decisions
'Till my dream becomes a vision
And the love I feel
Makes her real someday

'Cause I know she's out there somewhere
Just beyond my reach
Though I've never really touched her
Or ever heard her speak
Though we've never been together
We've never been apart
No we've never met
Haven't found her yet
But I know her by heart

Am I living in an illusion?
Wanting something I can't see
If I compromise, I'd be living lies
Pretending love's not meant to be
'Cause I know my heart's worth saving
And I know that she'll be waiting
So I'll hold on and I'll stay strong 'till then

'Cause I know she's out there somewhere
Just beyond my reach
Though I've never really touched her
Or ever heard her speak
Though we've never been together
We've never been apart

No we've never met
Haven't found her yet
But I know her by heart
No we've never met
Haven't found her yet
But I know her by heart

This Christmas, I'm wishing that by the time Santa visits us all again next year, we'll all have met the person we've always known byheart. Perhaps then there'd be fewer tears around...



P.S. Yes, I exchanged "HIM" for "HER" in the lyrics. Ally wouldn't mind.
