A surprise

A Surprise

This is unexpected, strange I should see you after all this time
Say what you up to?
Tell me how you’re doing; still working late 7 days a week, in a job you hate?
Do you remember the crew, and me and you, and that twist of fate?

I never got to say goodbye, I never got to tell you why
You looked at me smiling, your smile was so beguiling
But I had to go and never let you know why

You’re looking really well; is there someone who is making you laugh the way we used to?
Do you want to have a drink or do you still hate me?
Would you rather I go and let you be?
Won’t you look me up soon, some afternoon, when you’re free

I never got to say goodbye, I never got to tell you why
You looked at me smiling; your smile was so beguiling
But I had to go and never let you know why

Before you go, let me tell you why
I can’t let you go before I say goodbye
I failed at that before, but now I have one more chance to say I’ve loved you everyday
