Today, I saw you on the street How sad it was for us to meet For in that moment of 'Hello' I found the world that I let go After all the years apart How strange to find you in my heart How sad to find that I still love you so We spoke of all the happy days Before we went our separate ways Seeing you I knew the past Had caught up with my heart at last I was young and full of spring Until, I saw your wedding ring It told me of the world I threw away Ah-aa, ah-aa Ah-aa, ah-aa As we whispered our goodbyes I held my tears behind my eyes You kissed my cheek for old time's sake And I could feel my poor heart break It was a crazy thing to do But, when you left, I followed you I had to see the world I threw away I saw the streets I left behind I saw my yesterdays unwind And in the park and in the square The past was waiting everywhere With each and every memory I knew the past had passed for me But, still, I watched the world I threw away I watched your window through the night How sweet the dream behind the light But, as I dream of things that were I knew you were up there with her And now I wonder from your door Goodbye my love forever more Goodbye to you, the world I threw away Goodbye to you, the world I threw away (ah-aa, ah) (Ah-aa, ah-aa)
