Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When he saw her getting off the bus
It seemed to wipe away the years
Her face was older, just a little rough
But her eyes were still so clear
[Verse 2]
He drank his coffee and he hurried out
Across before she walked away
Then he approached her like a little child
Too scared for what he had to say
[Verse 3]
Hello, Louise
Remember me?
Now should we part or stay awhile?
As if we were still lovers
[Verse 4]
She took a moment just to recognize
The man she'd known so well before
And as he started to apologize
Lose any bitterness she bore
[Verse 5]
She gently put her finger on his lips
To let him know she understood
And with her suitcase standing on the floor
Embraced him like a lover would
[Verse 6]
He told Louise
You look so good
It's just, you see, you make me feel
As if we were still lovers
[Verse 7]
It's not always true that time heals all wounds
There are wounds that you don't wanna heal
The memories of something really good
Something truly real that you never found again
[Verse 8]
As if we were still lovers
[Verse 9]
And though they talked for just a little time
Before she said she had to go
He saw the meeting as a tiny sign
That told him all he had to know
[Verse 10]
And so Louise waved from the bus
As as she left she gave that smile
As if they were still lovers
