One year ago, the twelfth of May That luncheonette where he appeared 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 her 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-tone shoes His eyes are green, he says hello Suddenly, the city seems 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, I'm wanting to scream I'm wanting to cry, I 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
