I was hers and you were his 
The night we met out on that bridge 
You knew then what I know now 
That love put down comes back some how 

The comet came, the comet went 
And hid its face in the firmament 
I looked once and then turned away 
When I looked again it was much too late 

A summer wind, a cotton dress 
This is how I remember you best 
This is how I remember you best 

The fool I was is the fool I am 
I've got a wife, I'm a family man 
But when I lay in our bed 
I sometimes dream I'm holding you instead 

(CHORUS) 

The kids are fine 
They're six and nine 
I think you'd probably like my wife 
But the kitchen light seems much too bright 
For what I find myself thinking tonight 

(CHORUS )
