It was a month and a day It seems a lifetime away When we first met in town and spent a night We drank and we talked until the music was stopped And the barman came and turned back on the light We arranged again to meet And as I walked off down the street I swear that I felt ten feet tall Was I dizzy from the wine? Or maybe I just missed the signs �Cause now you won�t return my calls I hope that one day when you�re ancient Preparing for another lonely night You close your eyes for one last time And you see me in my prime The great lost love of my life
