For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin
She said to me, happiness is a journey, not a destination
Live like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt
I wish I wrote one song to tell you, I loved you all along
She left but never went away, I find myself still looking every day
All those years ago that we could have met, so hard, very hard not to regret
In my mind every suitor gets their own song, but to none of them she'll ever belong
She left but never went away, I find myself still looking every day
When I walk through the village I always look right, the ghost of you there in my memory is sight
But she's gone, she's gone away, a new life today, I still look every day
She left but never went away, I find myself still looking every day
When I walk through the village I always look right, the ghost of you there in my memory is sight
But she's gone, she's gone away, a new life on the way, I still look every day
