Текст песни: Tom + перевод

One year ago, the twelfth of May

That luncheonette where he appeared

I see him first, and then he smiles

I won’t forget, I won’t forget—

Something sad is playing on the jukebox

A girl who’s lost her boyfriend to a friend—

I can’t remember my husband’s face

I can’t remember my lover’s face

But I can remember a stranger’s face

His name is Tom

I leave tip, do not look back

I reach the park, and he appears

That brilliant smile, those two-tone shoes

His eyes are green, he says hello

Suddenly, the city seems on fire

It’s like the world has finally reached an end

I don’t remember my husband’s voice

I don’t remember my lover’s voice

But I do remember, I hear that voice

And I’m wanting to run, I’m wanting to scream

I’m wanting to cry, I—

I ask his name, and we kiss

And the angels sigh

We kiss, and the heaven’s smile

We fly like angels would like to fly

We kiss and say goodbye

What’s better is what would have been

What’s sweeter is what would have been

The twelfth of May, that brilliant smile

The greatest of adventures of my life

I can’t remember my husband’s name

I can’t remember my lover’s name

But I can remember what would have been

It has a name
