In the city after midnight Very few cars are passing by Not a soul in sight Such a lonely night No moon up in the sky There’s the bar Out on the corner Where I met this girl One time I told her I’d be forever hers If she’d be forever mine Chorus: Seems like so long ago Many years have passed on by A woman that told me no The remains of another life I’ll never know why it happened That distant look in your eyes It hurt much worse than I imagined We never said goodbye So here I am Standing on that corner At a quarter past twelve tonight Wondering why you wanted To end our love That felt so right I guess we weren’t headed In the same direction I went left She turned right Seems like so long ago Many years have passed on by A woman that told me no The remains of another life I’ll never know why it happened That distant look in your eyes It hurt much worse than I imagined We never said goodbye I’m sitting inside the bar now At the same table we held hands I pulled that ring from my pocket I guess you had other plans There wasn’t much conversation I thought that you might cry You told me you’d be right back Well it turned out that you lied Seems like so long ago Many years have passed on by A woman that told me no The remains of another life I’ll never know why it happened That distant look in your eyes It hurt much worse than I imagined We never said goodbye It hurt much worse than I imagined We never said goodbye
