excuse me i’m sorry to bother you,
but don’t i know you?
there’s just something about you.
haven’t we met before?

we’ve been in love forever.

when we got to top of the hill,
we saw rome burning.
i just let you walk away.
i’ve never forgiven myself.

i saw you on the steps in paris.
you were with someone else.
couldn’t you see that should have been me.
i just walked on by.

then we met in ’42,
but we were on different sides.
i hid you under my bed,
but they took you away.

i loved you with a london smark,
as you crossed the lane.
and i’d never know where you’d gonna be next
but i’d know that you’d surprise me.

come with me, i’ll find some rope
i’ll tie us together.
i’ve been waiting for you so long
i don’t want to lose you again

i don’t want to walk into the crowd again.
i don’t want to walk away again.
i don’t want to lose you!
i don’t want to lose you!
i don’t want to lose you again!

there’s just something about you
have we been in love forever?

and i’d been living in new york.
i took your photograph.
i still have your smiling face in a heart-shaped frame.

snowed in at wheeler street.
just two old friends.
keeping the fire going.
we looked so good together.

can’t we just stay there forever?
we were so happy!
i’d live that day over and over.
but the world won’t stop turning.

when we got to the top of the hill,
we saw rome burning.
i don’t want to lose you
i don’t want lose you again!

don’t walk away again.
don’t leave me unloved again.

don’t want to lose you!
i don’t want to lose you!
i don’t want to lose you again!

don’t want to lose you
i don’t want to lose you!
don’t want to lose you again!

oh no, not again.
no! no! not again!
not again! not again!
no! no! no! no! not again!
not again!
never again!
