Can I sit beside you
and talk with you a while
I was slowly passing
and was attracted by your smile
the cafe lights were comforting
the food of love played on
I met her on a Monday, by Friday she was gone

we laughed and talked and were hypnotised
by the magic in the air
it electrified our senses and left defences bare
was this what we were looking for
and could we build a home
I met her on a Monday, by Friday she was gone

a fire burned within our hearts
like none I'd ever known
a year for every minute spent
our love had fiercely grown
but as quickly as it started
the end also came
I met her on a Monday, by Friday she was gone

though at the time it seemed so sad
now I look back through the years
at the perfect love affair we'd had
with no bitterness or tears
it's true our love had ended
but it's the same for everyone
you will meet them one day and another they'll be gone

I'm just glad I felt a fire
that I might not have known
I met her on a Monday, by Friday she was gone
