lyrics

In a bar on my own, feeling alone, ordering wine
The door opens wide, for a moment I died, it was a quarter to nine
In came a girl I knew from way back when
Radiant, yeah, it’s bound to happen again
She said hey, and how’ve you been
That’s really cool, you still got the same grin
She took a seat and a glass and a light
I watched her all night while she drank and smiled
Remembering now she was the best
Why did I leave? I could’ve ended my quest
A long time ago

So, this is the night where I’m not gonna fight my second chance
I gotta behave, can’t stand losing her twice, rematch romance
when I start talking my words seem to miss
Way out of place and nowhere near a first kiss
She started to fade, white light remained
Her body’d left but her presence sustained
Remembering now, it was a game of the mind
I knew her alright, but she’d left me behind
A long time ago

When I awoke smelling the smoke of a faint memory
In my dreams she’s there, she’s everywhere, she’s all I can see
I hope she’s alive living happy and well
I’m not really sure, am I under a spell?
She could be a ghost haunting my dreams
Forever I’m chained or so it seems
Remembering now, in the bright light of dawn
Think she slept in my arms, now I’m sure she has gone
A long time ago
