I could see her walking in the rain
it had to be her, she looked just the same
the years had passed her by with kindness and respect
in the years she'd spent with me , she only knew regret

I was close behind her, she entered the cafe
I stood there frozen, wondering what to say
when at last I entered, I saw her sitting there
with a smile so kind and warm she didn't seem to have a care

chorus
she said hello, how have you been
it's so good to see you, let's talk for a while
but I don't have long
she said hello, I heard goodbye
all I saw was a stranger who was once part of me
it hurt so much, she said hello

I sat beside her not knowing what to say
she took control and I well recalled the day
when the world to her was fearful, she would shelter in my arms
and I thought she'd not survive a day without keeping her from harm

now as she talked it wasn't hard to see
her world had opened on the day I set her free
as I sad beside her, a man once strong and sure
a victim of the confidence of the woman I still adored
