lyrics

[Don: Well, Alan mentioned it a few times but I'm not quite sure. Elizabeth?]
[Kathy: No, it's Katherine.]

It was on a saturday night
Was ready to join the celebration
But happened to be mislead by a faded memory

There she appeared by the door
Like a light that could brighten every room

I didn’t mind to see her
It just took me by surprise
Because it’s been almost a year
But here we are again

Even if I could have known I would find you here
I would still have come
I don’t care, it wasn’t me who stop replying all the sudden
anyway

By the time we both acknowledged we were sharing a location
We avoided to meet
But we didn’t succeed,
And were caught in a scene

Where you walked towards me
And said “Hello”
While I barely spoke a word

And with your nervous charm
It caught me by surprise,
And I can’t recall your name
Damn, girl...

[Don: I know what you're thinking. I can almost hear that mind of yours churning. You're wondering why I'm so eager to help.]

Against all odds we kind of clicked
Both aware of where it’s going
Don’t you say you didn’t had that thought in mind

I do remember how it used to be,
We would meet after hours
looking for someone to love before dawn

It’s safe to say we took the time to think about it
While trapped in this semi romantic moment
And there we go again

Even if I could have known I would find you here
I wouldn’t change a thing
Because to be honest I can say I never cared that much
anyway

It’s hard to see how we couldn’t make it work before
But it doesn’t matter
Cause we didn’t succeed,
Now are almost a stranger to me

So it’s twelve to five
And you say “Goodbye”
While I barely spoke a word

And with your nervous charm
It caught me by surprise,
And I can’t recall your name
Damn, girl...

[Don: You obviously think there's something wrong. And I wouldn't like to feel I walked out on him. So, if there's anything I can do, or anything that ought to be done, I'd appreciate you telling me about it.]
[Kathy: All right, Mr. Blake.]
