The World I Threw Away

Composer：Neil Sedaka
Lyricist：Howard Greenfield

Today I Saw You On The Street.
How Sad It Was That We Should Meet？
For In That Moment Of 'Hello',
I Found The World That I Let Go.

After All These Years Apart.
How Strange To Find You In My Heart？
How Sad To Find That I Still Love You So？
We Spoke Of All The Happy Days
Before We Went Our Separate Ways.

Seeing You, I Knew The Past
Has Caught Up With My Heart At Last.
I Was Young And Full Of Spring.
Until I Saw Your Wedding Ring,
It Told Me Of The World I Threw Away.

As We Whispered Our Goodbye,
I Held The Tears Behind My Eye.
You Kissed My Cheek For Old Times' Sake
And I Could Feel My Poor Heart Break.
It Was A Crazy Thing To Do
But When You left, I Followed You.
I Had To See The World I Threw Away.

I Saw The Streets I Left Behind.
I Saw My Yesterdays Unwind
In The Park And In The Square.
The Past Was Waiting Everywhere.
With Each And Every Memory,
I Knew The Past Had Passed For Me.
But Still I Watched The World I Threw Away.

I Watched Your Window Through The Night .
How Sweet The Dreams Behind The Light？
And As I Saw Your Light Grew Dim,
I Knew You Were Up There With Her.
And As I Wander From Your Door.
Goodbye My Love Forever More.
Goodbye To You , The World I Threw Away.
