| When I invited Frank and you, back to mine for a mange tout
|
| When I meant ménage à trois
|
| You laughed so hard you cracked your chin against the bar.
|
| This statement might sound phoney
|
| But I miss you, And I’m lonely, Distance stretches on and on and on.
|
| Oh God how wonderful it is
|
| Crossing bridges in the mist
|
| Øresund across the Tejo
|
| Behind on aggregate away
|
| But Benfica still went through
|
| And we still spent an afternoon
|
| At the Gulbenkian museum
|
| Sharing stories in the shade, oh what a day.
|
| This statement might sound phoney
|
| But I miss you, And I’m lonely, Distance stretches on and on and on.
|
| I look at you
|
| And I am confident that I’d rather look at you
|
| Than all the portraits in existence in the world
|
| Except possibly O’Hara by Grace Hartigan
|
| Or something else
|
| I’m not a connoisseur, I’m monolingual, and absurd
|
| And I know this statement might sound phoney
|
| But I miss you And I’m lonely
|
| I miss you I’m lonely, Distance stretches on and on and on. |
