about

Bumping into a lost love, and losing her again.

= = = = = = =

lyrics

I went for a walk feeling happy, contented
And who did I meet but her
In a moment, in a nervous smile
A dawning of recognition
I was returned twenty-five years
We said nothing now
Well, spoke words, platitudes
But they meant nothing
How could this be
When we had talked into the night and past dawn
About everything
And of our future together for ever

We loved, deep love
Complete, declared it
Touched, caressed, and so much more
We knew each other intimately
Physically, bonding deeply
It was for ever
Till she walked away

It was going to be undying love
Nothing would or could part us
We were special
I wanted to ask why, but no deep words came
And before she walked away
I saw a ring on her wedding finger
That she would not wear for me

We loved, deep love
Complete, declared it
Touched, caressed, and so much more
We knew each other intimately
Physically, bonding deeply
It was for ever
Till she walked away

Then she told me about her kids
The ones she wouldn't have with me
I told her about my life, happy and full
And then
She walked away again

We loved, deep love
Complete, declared it
Touched, caressed, and so much more
We knew each other intimately
Physically, bonding deeply
It was for ever
Till she walked away
