As I sat on the train
on the cold winter night,
I remembered it all in a flash as she
walked by and sat across from me.
It was so mystical and strange,
but it brought back to me the memory
of Nina and her charm.
Nina – What a beautiful name
that meant so much to me back then.
But why did it have to end?
The lady, now in her seat,
wore that same scent as Nina did.
The scent that attracted me to her first.
What was it, that held us together back then?
If I only knew,
I’d use it again.
Harper Bay comes and the lady departs the train
with that sweet smile and the
graceful stride that only few possess.
My dear was one of them.
As my stop comes, I really think about it
How it was and how it could be still.
Staying in the darkness from one
another was too much for me to bear.
There was no other person
that could open and hold on to
my heart as she did.
I had to act.
When I got to my studio, I called up the airport
to find the next plane to Memphis.
Scheduled time was 12:15.
I grabbed some cash,
packed some clothes and headed off
for Kennedy International.
I purchased my ticket,
and boarded the plane.
A smooth take off told me of what to come.
I knew it all now.
All I needed was her.
She was all that meant to me now.
The black & white movies on Turner Classic Movies,
I always regarded as the same.
Breakup and reunion.
But now I saw how
it did and does really happen.
It happened to me,
and it can happen to you.
