Madness — The Kiss

It was a cold November evening As I walked into the bar I saw you talking with your friend So near and yet so far Why did I feel I knew you Why did I want to tell you When I know we haven't met Don’t know if you even saw me Did you even see me? It was just a passing moment But it felt like forever I was like a drowning man Whose whole life flashes before him Except it was your life I knew everything about you Even friends and places That I know I've never seen Then the place was getting crowded I stepped outside for some air Stuck in the open doorway Couldn't leave I couldn’t stay There always comes that moment In every conversation When all but a fool can't think of anything to say I don't know how I know her Maybe in another life 'Cause I can't understand how I could feel so close To someone I don't know You can say you will - You can say you will You can say you won't You can say anything you wish Still the truth - But still the truth - Remains Remains the only thing I want - Still the truth remains the thing I want Your kiss And then you looked straight at me Or was it right through me? You slowly turned your back You turned and looked away Then all but a fool can't think of anything to say And so I stood there smiling Slowly drifting away And so I stood there smiling Slowly drifting away And so I stood there smiling Slowly drifting away And so I stood there smiling Slowly drifting away Slowly drifting away Slowly drifting away Slowly drifting away Slowly drifting away
