i saw your face in a photo today took me back to a time that i loved so one thing remains that still gives me pain the fact that i never got to say don t go don t go dark days fell upon this town that year i remember the sordid talk and tears a scarlet letter was sewn onto you long ago but the way you felt no one will ever know i turn on the radio and that song would play oh how the irony when i look back on that day don t go late at night you would tell me that it would all be fine realized that our doubts weren t just mine we would sit and contemplate just what to do but i never thought it would be without you turn on the radio and that song would play oh how the irony when i look back on that day don t go now you re gone so i ll say our lives you changed and i know my friend that i ll see you once again
