Waiting in the local coffee shop Just off Main Street Its nearly ten oclock and He is here to meet The love of his life Two cups placed on the table Fingers of steam twist and dance In the mid morning light Rising off one bitter long black and one creamy sweet white The waitress rests her hand on his shoulder She knows why the sadness Lives in his eyes She turns and walks away Trying hard not to cry He waits nervously for the one he adores To walk through the busy cafe doors His daughter and his wife now come into sight Their daughter steadies the woman he loves Drifting in a world she has no memory of Hello you look familiar, have we met before Every time she forgets his name His heart shatters all over again She may forget his face Forget his name So he remembers enough For both of them Would you like to sit a while you never Know who you will get to meet Maybe that silver-screen Movie star that I like Oh, Now wouldn’t that be a treat She laughs like she did in the happy days of the past For a moment he gets to see Small fragments of the woman she used to be She talks about when she was young The songs she sung Life was so much fun with A nameless man she chased through every room The same man she now faces Same table same view You remind me of someone I think I once knew He had kind eyes A lot like you He hides his tears behind his smile Just happy she is here for a while Every time she forgets his name His heart shatters all over again She may forget his face Forget his name So he remembers enough For both of them Her favourite song comes over the radio That one from all those years ago She stops and looks deep into his eyes Like waking up from another life Hello my love oh I’ve missed you so Tell me where did you go Her return took his breath away Welcome back please will you stay I can no longer take the pain Promise youll find away I am so lost without you And I dont know what to do Please sweetheart dont go Please dont leave me Dont be silly my darling Im not going anywhere You are my world Its you and me forever For three short minutes she was there The girl he loved the life they shared He held her hand And closed his eyes Knowing he would be soon saying goodbye To the woman he once knew And as the music faded away The fog returned and it took her away She looked at him with strangers eyes Hello you look familiar Have we met before Every time she forgets his name His heart shatters all over again She may forget his face Forget his name So he remembers enough For both of them
