I took a picture once last year A two dimensional affair that we had You had different hair back then I wasn't there in the frame I was nowhere to be seen But I'm sure I was involved. I guess it's ok after all. And in the background there it is Playing softly as it were The song that played you out of scene And that is just as it should be And it has been It has been lovely knowing you The desk is as it was back then The books have not been rearranged I couldn't bring myself to wipe Any old coffee stains you left But I don't ever go in there Or maybe that's just where I live And in the background there it is Playing softly as it were The song that played you out of scene And that is just as it should be And it has been It has been lovely knowing you.
