If I should meet you on the avenue
Would you take the time for a word or two
Or just walk on by pretending we are strangers
On a summer Sunday on the boulevard
Would you tell me life's been treatin' you hard
Lost its mystery, lost its danger
You're a gracious lady in the latest style
With your summer dress and your summer style
And the time to forget the memories in your eye
But hold me baby you said back then
Make me love you so, make us one again
And don't you let me go
Or you know I'm going to die
There's a rainy sidewalk with some café chairs
We could take a moment, pass a memory there
If we're not in a hurry to spend no moments together
I know I'm dressed in no finery
When you come down to it, I look like me
But I won't be on this boulevard forever
You had my dreams and I had yours too
Can you tell me yours are coming true
Have you learned to laugh, do you know when to cry
But hold me baby you said back then
Make me love you so, make us one again
And don't you let me go
Or you know I'm going to die
You're a gracious lady in the latest style
With your summer dress and your summer smile
And the time to forget the memories in your eye
But hold me baby you said back then
Make me love you so, make us one again
And don't you let me go
Or you know I'm going to die
So if I should meet you on the avenue
On a sunny day when the sky's so blue
Can I take your hand, see what it might show me
On a summer Sunday on the boulevard
Would you tell me life's been treatin' you hard
Or walk on by, pretending you don't know me
You don't know me
You don't know me
You don't know me
You don't know me
