But I saw you last night, You held my hand so tight, As you stopped to say, "Hello".Oh, you wished me well, You couldn't tell That I'd been crying over you. Crying over you.When you said, "So long" Left me standing all alone, Alone and crying, crying. Crying, crying.”

Into the magic night, I softly say A silent prayer like dreamers do. Then I fall asleep to dreams, my dreams of you.”
