Yesterday I went away
I said that I'll be coming back again
Kept in touch but not that much
I really should have called you now and then

I can see where I went wrong
I stayed away too long
And loneliness sat in instead of me
It's so sad to see the old home town again

But sadder seeing you 'cause you're not mine
Oh I hope he's given you all the things that I wanted to
And I hope that both of you are doing fine
That 's the price I guess you pay for being away

There is is the street we walked upon
I still can feel you walking by my side
Used to meet, stayed up till dawn
We live, we laugh, we love, we sometimes cry

And the old church proudly stands
Remember how they planned
The wedding they would have for you and me
It's so sad to see the old hometown again

But sadder seeing you 'cause you're not mine
Oh the place still looks the same
Nothing's different but your name
I believe that out of sight is out of mind
That 's the price I guess you pay for being away
