We met in the throes of a contest
I wasn't the type to refuse you
You shining with enthusiasm
Me tripping on words, I abused you
I wanted to sniff out your interests
Plus, I'm just a sucker for flannel
I never met someone like you in my whole life
Until I met your wife
We put on a play of compassion
Drunk calls and song recommendations
It's nothing but two ships in passing
Two Murrays lost in translation
Although you've got one you rely on
Though you've hung your wish on another star
Although you're not with a man
I always know who you are
In a foreign harbor
I'll wave my handkerchief high in the air
I'll bless the currents
That bear you off to your newest affair
Off to Korea
Or off to Saudi or Tokyo
When shall I see you
Or shall I just have to let you go
But if we're parted
But if I never should see you again
I'll know it's fated
And still I'll cherish you as an old friend
Come back to me
Come back into my life
Be near me
And yes--bring your wife
I need you
I want to see you
You're perfect
You're so worth it
It lives in you
It lives in you
It lives in you
