Thinking about you, I wonder,
Is there a mirror with your smile ?
You dream, You talk about,
You life would never pass you by.
You see my love I had you once,
I had you once and that was long ago.
Now your talking to the boys, part-time employed,
In a second hand dress that, you wear for their smiles,
You sew, and you mend,
You take it off only when they beg
You see my love I had you once,
And not just what you hide under your coat.
And I just go oh!
You make me go oh!
Walking down the tracks, forget about the past,
Its a housewife’s call, your dreaming of the past,
The night calls, your tall man’s strong,
But i know a bus that can take us out this place.
You see my love I had you once,
I had you once, now i’m on the platform.
And I just go oh!
You make me go oh!
You make me go oh!
You make me go oh!
I got the South Station Blues,
The South Station Blues,
Those South Station, those station,
Those South… Station Blues !
The night draws in and I wonder,
Is there a mirror with your smile ?
You dream, you talk about,
How life would never pass you by.
You see my love i want you once,
I see that girl, I ask « where did she go » ?
You make me go oh!
You make me go oh!
You make me go oh!
You make me go oh!

You said that I’m a lover, you said that I’m a Saint,
Said that I don’t love you in any decent way,
I’m sorry my love, it’s just the way that I have been !
I’m sorry for the rumbles in the heat of the night,
With other women, it seemed alright,
I’m sorry my love it’s just the way that I have seen !
So long my lover,
Goodbye my best friend,
So long my lover,
I guess we can call this the end.
I guess we should have started with a little more heart,
Stayed in the morning, not ran off to parties,
Don’t worry my love I know how it’s been
Come next spring you’ll be out of this city,
Find another man to keep you warm in the evening,
Don’t worry my love i’m doing exactly the same.
So long my lover,
Goodbye my best friend,
So long my lover,
I guess we can call this the end.
So long my lover,
Goodbye my best friend,
So long my lover,
I guess we can call this the end.
And i know !
That i did the best for you !
And you know !
That I was all I could !
And i know !
That I’m gonna be, I’m gonna be,
That one way you want, I ‘m gonna be ,
Im gonna want, I’m gonna see !
So long my lover,
Goodbye my best friend,

When we strolled into this town,
Together but so separately,
I wanted a farm house,
Maybe not,
Not this far East !
But for you I would do anything.
I wanna..
Start a family now, I know it’s not your plan,
But maybe one day, we’ll buy an acre and,
Build a house in, palm trees in the sand,
Oh maybe one day again,
I’ll make you see !
That for you I would do anything,
Now I see !
That for me you did all you could be.
Where you going honey ? Where you going fast ?
Thats no way to say goodbye, I wanna smile, I wanna,
Say « hello my friend », I know this ain't the end,
Oh maybe one day again,
I’ll make you see !
That for you I would do anything,
Now I see !
That for me you did all you could be.
I was so bold !
When I asked you to hold !
My hand through it all !
You were so bold !
I was so bold !
When I asked you to hold !
Your hand through it all !
I was so bold !

First Waltz

Here's the last waltz I'm proposing,
You know i've never seen one like you,
But with you I fly,
It's either stars or the sky.
I remember the night, I cherish that evening,
Our song started playing, I left you believing,
That I couldn't dance, but i took my chance,
I opened my eyes, and I saw your smile,
And oh your perfect little smile.
And I held you close, but you held me tighter,
I stumbled in rhythm, you gave us both style,
When i took your hand from out on the isle,
Your lips couldn't hide the smirk you'd been hiding,
The spotlight, gave us shade from the floor,
She said in the morning "I don't wanna wake up alone".
Save the last waltz for me lovely,
You know I've never seen one like you,
With you I fly,
It's either stars or the sky
And I held you close, but you held me tighter,
I stumbled in rhythm, you gave us both style,
When i took your hand from out on the isle,
Your lips couldn't hide the smirk you'd been hiding,
The spotlight, gave us shade from the floor,
She said in the morning "I don't wanna wake up alone, tomorrow.
Well be there tomorrow, I'll need you tomorrow"
