This one is all about the song. I think that the melody and the chord changes are some of the prettiest that I’ve ever come up with. I know that this is also a particular favorite of Dave. When I played the recording for my wife for the first time, when she first heard Jan’s and Gabby’s viola, her eyes got big and she sat up in her chair....
And then with the pedal steel, forget it!

1.
Were we lonely?
I forget
But I can't forget the way you looked
The night that we first met
It was Tuesday
It was late
But not too late to play the flirt
Or play the hand of fate
-c-
A smile hello
Come on, let’s go
The bar’s about to close
“Here’s a pen,
“I’ll call you when…”
2.
Were we happy?
I forget
But I can't forget the words you said
When you said it should end
I was happy
What did you expect?
But I didn’t expect the way I felt
When you stayed in my head
-c-
The urge to phone
Come on, let’s go
The show’s about to start
“Hey, why not?,
Another shot…
-bridge-
As much as things were meant to be
This was meant to be
As much as things were meant to be
I’m glad you came to me
As much as things were meant to be
You were meant for me
As much as you were meant for me...
3.
Now where are we?
How could I forget?
We’re on the road, come on, let’s go…
