Analysis of Until I met You
Benedictus Genty Bulu 1955 (Dinga)
The last years went by
One by one, day after day
And I kept on folding my fingers
One by one, day after day
Counting my lost hopes
One by one, day after day
Burying my dying smiles
One by one, day after day
Until I met You Lord
Caring for me, day after day.
