Washes Over Me

I heard you went to France

Did you walk along the seine

Watched lovers hand in hand

Did you softly call my name

When you sat on a bench

After tuilerie

And remembered I spoke French

Did you have an ache for me

N' when the river of regret

Rushes passed your door

Will you give me just a thought

And wish you loved me more

Well, forgive me if I dream

Or hold on to memories

But sometimes what might have been

Washes over me

Then in some dark café

Did you drink a glass of wine

The colour of my lips

After kissing you all night

And my hair was such a mess

By the time the mornin' came

You held it off my neck

Said you liked it best that way

N' when the river of lost years

Freezes at your door

Will you scate across your tears

Just to touch my face once more

Well, forgive me if I dream

Or hold on to memories

But sometimes what might have been

Washes over me

What might have been

If she hadn't caught your eye

Would I be the one you'd never leave

Who would grow old by your side

Well, forgive me if I dream

Or hold on to memories

But sometimes what might have been

Washes over me

Washes over me

I heard you went to france
