For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin

She said to me, happiness is a journey, not a destination

Live like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt

I wish I wrote one song to tell you, I loved you all along

She left but never went away, I find myself still looking every day

All those years ago that we could have met, so hard, very hard not to regret

In my mind every suitor gets their own song, but to none of them she'll ever belong

She left but never went away, I find myself still looking every day

When I walk through the village I always look right, the ghost of you there in my memory is sight

But she's gone, she's gone away, a new life today, I still look every day

She left but never went away, I find myself still looking every day

When I walk through the village I always look right, the ghost of you there in my memory is sight

But she's gone, she's gone away, a new life on the way, I still look every day
