The candles flicker in the fading light 
I sit alone and watch that lonely night 
I see you everywhere 
And I try desperately to hide 

Another time, another place, 
I see that old familiar face 
And I try hard to catch your eye 
Another road, another mile, 
I see that old familiar smile 
But you’ll be with somebody new 

Another night, another day, 
I’ll see you standing in my way 
I’ll stop and say “hello, my friend” 
Another place, another time, 
You’ll tell me you’ve been doing fine 
And walk away from me once more. 

I try to run away from sad regrets 
The bitter wine won’t help me to forget 
That I locked up my heart 
And threw away the precious key 

Another time, another place, 
I see that old familiar face 
And I try hard to catch your eye 
Another road, another mile, 
I see that old familiar smile 
But you’ll be with somebody new 

Another night, another day, 
I’ll see you standing in my way 
I’ll stop and say “hello, my friend” 
Another place, another time, 
You’ll tell me you’ve been doing fine 
And walk away from me once more.

Another night, another day, 
I’ll see you standing in my way 
I’ll stop and say “hello, my friend” 
Another place, another time, 
You’ll tell me you’ve been doing fine 
And walk away from me once more.
