Lyrics

One year ago
The twelfth of May
That luncheonette
Where he appears
I see him first
And then he smiles
I won't forget
I won't forget
Something sad is playing on the jukebox
A girl who's lost a boyfriend to a friend
I can't remember my husband's face
I can't remember my lover's face
But I can remember a stranger's face
His name is Tom
I leave a tip
Do not look back
I reach the park
And he appears
That brilliant smile
Those two-toned shoes
His eyes are green
He says, "Hello"
Suddenly the city feels on fire
It's like the world has finally reached an end
I don't remember my husband's voice
I don't remember my lover's voice
But I do remember I hear that voice
And I'm wanting to run
And wanting to scream
And wanting to cry
I ask his name
And we kiss
And the angels sigh
We kiss
And the heavens smile
We fly
Like angels
Would like to fly
We kiss
And say goodbye
What's better is
What would have been
What's sweeter is
What would have been
The twelfth of May
That brilliant smile
The greatest of adventures of my life
I can't remember my husband's name
I can't remember my lover's name
But I can remember what would have been
It has a name
