If you see her, say hello She might be in Tangier She left here last early spring Is livin' there, I hear Say for me that I'm all right Though things get kind of slow She might think that I've forgotten her Don't tell her it isn't so
We had a falling-out Like lovers often will And to think of how she left that night It still brings me a chill And though our separation It pierced me to the heart She still lives inside of me We've never been apart
If you get close to her Kiss her once for me I always have respected her For busting out and gettin' free Oh, whatever makes her happy I won't stand in the way Though the bitter taste still lingers on From the night I tried to make her stay
I see a lot of people As I make the rounds And I hear her name here and there As I go from town to town And I've never gotten used to it I've just learned to turn it off Either I'm too sensitive Or else I'm gettin' soft
Sundown, yellow moon I replay the past I know every scene by heart They all went by so fast If she's passin' back this way I'm not that hard to find Tell her she can look me up If she's got the time
