Many times I've seen you
And many times gone by
And never did I meet you
Or even meet your eye.

The sand fell through the glass
And I simply watched you go
And when I had the strength at last
And went to say hello-

Gone, you were, forever.
Gone, with naught a sigh
And now I know I'll never
Know the reason why

So oft you passed my window
And so oft you glanced my way...
I suppose I have a chance now
To say goodbye, anyway.

Courage, you left me stranded
Strength, how you betray
And now I've been abandoned
By the love that got away.

I wish you well, whoever
(I don't even know your name)
And though we've not met ever
I love you just the same.
