Johnny Mathis – The World I Threw Away lyrics
Today I saw you on the street
How sad it was for us to meet
For in that moment of 'hello'
I found the world that I let go
After all the 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
Had 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 goodbyes
I held my tears behind my eyes
You kissed my cheek for old time's 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
And in the park and in the square
The past was waiting everywhere
With each
How sad it was for us to meet
For in that moment of 'hello'
I found the world that I let go
After all the 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
Had 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 goodbyes
I held my tears behind my eyes
You kissed my cheek for old time's 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
And in the park and in the square
The past was waiting everywhere
With each
