The twelfth of May
That luncheonette
Where he appears
I see him first
And then he smiles
I won't forget
I won't forget
Something sad is playing on the jukebox
A girl who's lost a boyfriend to a friend
I can't remember my husband's face
I can't remember my lover's face
But I can remember a stranger's face
His name is Tom
I leave a tip
Do not look back
I reach the park
And he appears
That brilliant smile
Those two-toned shoes
His eyes are green
He says, "Hello"
Suddenly the city feels on fire
It's like the world has finally reached an end
I don't remember my husband's voice
I don't remember my lover's voice
But I do remember I hear that voice
And I'm wanting to run
And wanting to scream
And wanting to cry
I ask his name
And we kiss
And the angels sigh
We kiss
And the heavens smile
We fly
Like angels
Would like to fly
We kiss
And say goodbye
ย
What's better is
What would have been
What's sweeter is
What would have been
The twelfth of May
That brilliant smile
The greatest of adventures of my life
ย
I can't remember my husband's name
I can't remember my lover's name
But I can remember what would have been
It has a name
