I saw you on the avenue You looked so tired and a little blue You were in your Sunday best With your father's tie upon your chest [Chorus:] Hey, you always stood me still Hey, you always will In the corridor of one hotel We once crossed paths I recall it well Voices in an empty hall Slamming doors to hearts that fall [Chorus] Always will Always will Hey Always will Always will Hey Love has been my passer by I stood too still to catch your eye But there out on the avenue In your father's tie I'll remember you [Chorus: x2] Hey, you always will
