[English]

I saw her through the window today

She was sittin' in the Silver Spoon cafe

I started to keep going

But something made me stop

She used to love me a lot

She looked lonely and I knew the cure

Old memories would win her heart for sure

I thought I'd walk on in

And I give it my best shot

She used to love me a lot

I sat down beside her and she smiled

She said where have you been it's been awhile

She was glad to see me

I could almost read her thoughts

She used to love me a lot

She used to love me with a love that wouldn't die

Looking at her now I can't believe I said good-bye

It would only take a minute to turn back the clock

She used to love me a lot

I remember how good it was back then

And I said it's not to late to start again

We could spend a night together

Take up where we left off

She used to love me a lot

But I panicked as she turned to walk away

As she went out the door I heard her say

Yes I'm in need of something

But it's something you ain't got

But I used to love you a lot

I thought she loved me with a love that wouldn't die

Looking at her now I can't believe she said good-bye

She just left me standing there, I never been so shocked

She used to love me a lot

She used to love me a lot

She used to love me a lot, she used to love me a lot, she used to love me a lot
