I saw her through the window today She was sittin' in the Silver Spoon cafe I started to keep going But something made me stop She used to love me a lot She looked lonely and I knew the cure Old memories would win her heart for sure I thought I'd walk on in And I give it my best shot She used to love me a lot I sat down beside her and she smiled She said where have you been it's been awhile She was glad to see me I could almost read her thoughts She used to love me a lot She used to love me with a love that wouldn't die Looking at her now I can't believe I said good-bye It would only take a minute to turn back the clock She used to love me a lot I remember how good it was back then And I said it's not to late to start again We could spend a night together Take up where we left off She used to love me a lot Then I panicked as she turned to walk away As she went out the door I heard her say Yes I'm in need of something But it's something you ain't got But I used to love you a lot I thought she loved me with a love that wouldn't die Looking at her now I can't believe she said good-bye She just left me standing in there, I never been so shocked She used to love me a lot She used to love me a lot She used to love me a lot
