Washes Over Me

[Verse 1]
I heard you went to France
Did you walk along the Seine?
Watched lovers hand in hand
Did you softly call my name?
When you sat on a bench
After Tuileries
And remembered I spoke French
Did you have an ache for me?

[Pre-Chorus]
And when the river of regret
Rushes past your door
Will you give me just a thought
And wish you loved me more?

[Chorus]
Well, forgive me if I dream
Or hold on to memories
But sometimes what might have been
Washes over me (Washes over me)

[Verse 2]
Then in some dark cafe
Did you drink a glass of wine?
The colour of my lips
After kissing you all night
And my hair was such a mess
By the time the morning came
You held it off my neck
Said you liked it best that way

[Pre-Chorus]
And when the river of lost years
Freezes at your door
Will you skate across your tears
Just to touch my face once more?

[Chorus]
Well, forgive me if I dream
Or hold on to memories
But sometimes what might have been
Washes over me (Washes over me)

[Bridge]
What might have been (What might have been)
If she hadn't caught your eye
Would I be the one you'd never leave
Who would grow old by your side?
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Chorus]
Well, forgive me if I dream
Or hold on to memories
But sometimes what might have been
Washes over me (Washes over me)
Washes over me

[Outro]
I heard you went to France
