Testo The World I Threw Away

Today I saw you on the street How sad it was for us to meet, For in that moment of "Hello" I found the world that I let go. After all the years apart How strange to find you in my heart, How sad to find that I still love you so. We spoke of all the happy days Before we went our separate ways. Seeing you, I knew the past Had caught up with my heart at last. I was young and full of spring Until I saw your wedding ring, It told me of the world I threw away. As we whispered our goodbyes I held the tears behind my eyes You kissed my cheek for old times' sake And I could feel my poor heart break. It was a crazy thing to do, But when you left, I followed you, I had to see the world I threw away. I saw the streets I left behind, I saw my yesterdays unwind, In the park and in the square The past was waiting everywhere. With each and every memory I knew the past had passed for me, But still I watched the world I threw away. I watched your window through the night, How sweet the dream behind the light, But when I saw your light grow dim I knew you were up there with him. And now I wander from your door, Goodbye my love for ever more, Goodbye to you, the world I threw away
