Through a Tear and a Smile
I was walking down through the city
When I ran into a friend of mine; It’s been a long long time
She took my hand and we started walking
Down to a Café to have a drink or two; and catching up on news
I must say that the time’s been good to you
She took a paper out of her wallet
I could see a heart with our names drawn too; Where the ink bled through
It’s just a page from one of my notebooks
It gives me comfort whenever I’m feeling blue; and to remember you
After all these years you must think I’m a fool
She looked at me through a tear and a smile
As she reached for my hand
I never told you then just how much those times together meant
On a beach where the sun was setting
The world was perfect and I was holding you; Two hearts drawn together
It’s a story that never ended
This timeless moment my thoughts are driven to; Deep in my soul forever
I guess you see that I still think about you too
She looked at me through a tear and a smile
While holding my hand
She said there’s times that I sit and wonder; How we might have been
She checked the time and said she had to be leaving
To meet her family at home; How about you; No I’m just passing through
We left the café and it started raining
She said it was sure good seeing you; and as she turned she whispered
God only knows I’ll still think about you
Through the rain all I saw was her smile
She turned the corner and waved
And like some dream that I used to rely on; She faded away
So I went walking down through the city
