lyrics

If you go walking by St Mary’s cathedral
Lay down some roses there in the shadow of the steeple
You can cry for me then, for all of my sins, and my trespassing
But if you smile for me instead, baby don’t you know I’ve been waiting

You can open up my doorway again
You were the best love that I ever had
I can’t deny my friend, you were the best love
That I ever had

Who can say if I will ever see your face again
If in this lifetime or the next our story’s meant to end
And I know you’ll have many lovers after me and I may do the same
But if fate should shine a light on you and me again, well I won’t look away

You can open up my doorway again
You were the best love that I ever had
I can’t deny my friend, you were the best love
That I ever had

And I wanna thank you for ever single time I came crying to you,
Thinking that if you cried with me too, it would solve the whole damn thing
But you took my face in your hands and you laughed, you laughed,
well thank you for that

You can come into my doorway again
You were the best love that I ever had
I can’t deny my friend, you were the best love
That I ever had
