If You See Her Say Hello

If you see him, say hello

he might be in Tangier

he left here last early spring

Is livin' there, I hear

Say for me that I'm all right

Though things get kind of slow

he might think that I've forgotten him

Don't tell him it isn't so

We had a falling-out

Like lovers often will

And to think of how he left that night

It still brings me a chill

And though our separation

It pierced me to the heart

he still lives inside of me

We've never been apart

If you get close to him

Kiss him once for me

I always have respected him

For doin' what he did and gettin' free

Oh, whatever makes him happy

I won't stand in the way

Though the bitter taste still lingers on

From the night I tried to make him stay

I see a lot of people

As I make the rounds

And I hear his name here and there

As I go from town to town

And I've never gotten used to it

I've just learned to turn it off

Either I'm too sensitive

Or else I'm gettin' soft

Sundown, yellow moon

I replay the past

I know every scene by heart

They all went by so fast

If he's passin' back this way

I'm not that hard to find

Tell him he can look me up If he's got the time
