He got the new car, she got the kids They sold the house and lived apart I kept the memories of how it had been Kept every picture in my heart When he was here, she would smile They would laugh for a while She would ask, "Am I still your only one?" They would dance cheek to cheek By the light of our TV, and she Never needed memories when he was here He found his freedom, she found a job And gave away the wedding gown Spent every weekend calling her old friends Asking discreetly, "What's he doing now?" When he was here, she would smile They would laugh for a while She would ask, "Am I still your only one?" They would dance cheek to cheek By the light of our TV, and she Never needed memories when he was here The letters and the photographs are locked away For rainy days when we are brave I ask her, did she taste forever in his kiss? Does it have to end like this? Both of us just wishing he was here She would smile, they would laugh for a while Then she would ask, "Am I still your only one?" And they would dance cheek to cheek By the light of the TV, and we Never needed memories when he was here
