If I should meet you on the avenue Would you take the time for a word or two Or just walk on by pretending we are strangers On a summer Sunday on the boulevard Would you tell me life's been treatin' you hard Lost its mystery, lost its danger You're a gracious lady in the latest style With your summer dress and your summer style And the time to forget the memories in your eye But hold me baby you said back then Make me love you so, make us one again And don't you let me go Or you know I'm going to die There's a rainy sidewalk with some café chairs We could take a moment, pass a memory there If we're not in a hurry to spend no moments together I know I'm dressed in no finery When you come down to it, I look like me But I won't be on this boulevard forever You had my dreams and I had yours too Can you tell me yours are coming true Have you learned to laugh, do you know when to cry But hold me baby you said back then Make me love you so, make us one again And don't you let me go Or you know I'm going to die You're a gracious lady in the latest style With your summer dress and your summer smile And the time to forget the memories in your eye But hold me baby you said back then Make me love you so, make us one again And don't you let me go Or you know I'm going to die So if I should meet you on the avenue On a sunny day when the sky's so blue Can I take your hand, see what it might show me On a summer Sunday on the boulevard Would you tell me life's been treatin' you hard Or walk on by, pretending you don't know me You don't know me You don't know me You don't know me You don't know me
