Today the weather was so pretty at noon I went out for a stroll
I walked and did some window shopping and met someone I used to know

The years have been kind to her beauty when I first saw her my heart jumped
Tonight if I seem disenchanted it's because I took a memory to lunch

We sat and talked about the old days with misty teardrops in our eyes
And reafirmed an old suspection the past grows old but never dies

The charm that draws two hearts together by four o'clock was just too much
The days and years we had between us were down to just two coffee cups

You can't relieve life in an hour the afternoon kept wearing on
I'm sorry that I'm late for dinner I took a memory to lunch
