The World I Threw Away Lyrics

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 to 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
And 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 the state that you were in
And now I wander from your door
Goodbye my love for ever more
Goodbye to you
The world I threw away
