It started off the way things do, with
a Hi, Hello and how are you,
then we wandered on in the early day,
I listened to the things she'd say.

We stopped off somewhere for
a cup of tea.
I talked, she sat and listened to me.
She had a cake and then two more
we went Dutch,
that's what sharing's for.

To the town and window shopping,
eyes popping at the cost if bought,
I thought the cinema was best, so
to the West End,
Leicester Square.


Where,
arm around her, back seat row
but it didn't go that way at all, she had
a call, the mobile phone,
father told her come on home.

It ended the way things usually do, with
a nice to see you, like to meet you,
can we make a date?

And just as usual
fate intervenes,
I wake and curse these lonesome dreams
I always do but it's the only time
that I meet you.
