Lyrics
1. Fancy meeting you again
After all these years
Just from greeting you again
How my grey sky clears
That friendly clasp of your hand
Tells me that you understand
Chorus:
Won’t you spend awhile with me
For old times’ sake?
Speak of days that used to be
For old times’ sake?
I know the heartaches I cost you
But I suffered more, for I lost you
So hold me near and kiss me, dear
For old times’ sake
2. Something in me seems to say
As it always does
“When I let you get away
What a fool I was!”
Although I can’t make amends
Let us forget and be friends
