It was another time
But the same place
So if you see heartbreak
Written on my face
It’s because the memories
Aren’t easily erased
I remember the last time
That we embraced

I don’t know
If the thought occurred
To play the song
That we both preferred
Play it for me
Like you did for her
And I won’t say
Not another word

Play it Piano Man
Loud and clear
The way you did
When she was here
Let me feel it
Tickling my ear
Like it did
When I held her near

Don’t you remember
The good old days
When we left here
Sometimes in a haze
With both our eyes
Slightly glazed
Like I said
Those were the good old days

I don’t know
If the thought occurred
To play the song
That we both preferred
Play it for me
Like you did for her
And I won’t say
Not another word

I took her to the airport
And she boarded the plane
Begging me to come with her
But I chose to remain
Now I remember
The name of the song
“As Time Goes By”
Tell me if I’m wrong

I don’t know
If the thought occurred
To play the song
That we both preferred
Play it for me
Like you did for her
And I won’t say
Not another word
