lyrics

I saw you looking back at me
So much surprise in your eyes
It’s been a year now since I’ve seen your face
But I just had to see you one last time

Won’t you come and take a walk with me
Through leaves and over bridges
I’ve only got a short time with you
To tell you what I need to

I hope he makes you happy
I hope that you’ll enjoy your time
I may never see you again
So I’ll make this memory mine

“I can’t believe you’re here” you said
“All this way to walk with me”
My gift for you is from the heart
And not taken lightly
Won’t you come and take a walk with me
Through leaves and over bridges
I’ve only got a short time with you
To tell you you that I love you

I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you

You got so angry with me
For speaking from the heart
No further would you walk with me
But it won’t tear me apart
Won’t you come and take a walk with me
Through leaves and over bridges
I don’t expect you to love me too
Although your eyes say you do

I know I’ll make you happy
Just remember from time to time
It might be too late to tell you
But it will make you mine

And you said
I’ve always loved you
I’ve always loved you
