The World I Threw Away Songtext
von Connie Francis

Today, I saw you on the street
How sad it was for us to meet
For in that moment of ′Hello'
I found the world that I let go
After all the years apart
How strange to find you in my heart
How sad to find that I still love you so

We spoke of all the happy days
Before we went our separate ways
Seeing you I knew the past
Had caught up with my heart at last

I was young and full of spring
Until, I saw your wedding ring
It told me of the world I threw away
Ah-aa, ah-aa
Ah-aa, ah-aa


As we whispered our goodbyes
I held my tears behind my eyes
You kissed my cheek for old time′s sake
And I could feel my poor heart break

It was a crazy thing to do
But, when you left, I followed you
I had to see the world I threw away

I saw the streets I left behind
I saw my yesterdays unwind
And in the park and in the square
The past was waiting everywhere

With each and every memory
I knew the past had passed for me
But, still, I watched the world I threw away

I watched your window through the night
How sweet the dream behind the light
But, as I dream of things that were
I knew you were up there with her

And now I wonder from your door
Goodbye my love forever more
Goodbye to you, the world I threw away
Goodbye to you, the world I threw away (ah-aa, ah)
(Ah-aa, ah-aa)
