I saw you out,
                  ...out in the street,

I thought of something clever to say...

As my heart grew,
                         ...it grew cold feet,

Lingered to long and it faded away.

Grocery store; she again,
                                    ...swelling heart did begin,

I thought of something clever to say,
That night at home you faded away.

Things when in three's
                                   ...are very strange indeed?

I thought of something clever to say,
Lingered to long and it faded away,
That night at home you faded away.

Never saw you again,
                                ...after that last day,

Lingered to long and it faded away,
That night at home you faded away.
