lyrics

The Romance

She smiled at him before he left today. He drove off into the night.
He never could understand her, the things she does, the things that she says.
Where will she sleep tonight? Where will she sleep tonight?

What about the girl I saw? I know you saw her too.
Waving in the night, sailing out of view.
If the lights go on I know you care. If the lights go on I know you’re there.

She smiled at him before he left today. She smiled at him before he left today. She smiled at him before he left today. She smiled at him before he left.

Lyrics by Terry Welbourn © 1980 : Dead Good Tunes/Street Corner Music Ltd.
