Washes Over Me

[Verse 1]

I heard you went to France

Did you walk along the Seine?

Watched lovers hand in hand

Did you softly call my name?

When you sat on a bench

After Tuileries

And remembered I spoke French

Did you have an ache for me?

[Pre-Chorus]

And when the river of regret

Rushes past your door

Will you give me just a thought

And wish you loved me more?

[Chorus]

Well, forgive me if I dream

Or hold on to memories

But sometimes what might have been

Washes over me (Washes over me)

[Verse 2]

Then in some dark cafe

Did you drink a glass of wine?

The colour of my lips

After kissing you all night

And my hair was such a mess

By the time the morning came

You held it off my neck

Said you liked it best that way

[Pre-Chorus]

And when the river of lost years

Freezes at your door

Will you skate across your tears

Just to touch my face once more?

[Chorus]

Well, forgive me if I dream

Or hold on to memories

But sometimes what might have been

Washes over me (Washes over me)

[Bridge]

What might have been (What might have been)

If she hadn't caught your eye

Would I be the one you'd never leave

Who would grow old by your side?

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Chorus]

Well, forgive me if I dream

Or hold on to memories

But sometimes what might have been

Washes over me (Washes over me)

Washes over me

[Outro]

I heard you went to France
