I walked around for hours
 In the pouring rain
 I never thought I'd get used to this pain
 My feet are hurting
 But inside I'm calm and clear
 Oh how I want you to be near
 This part of town reminds me
 Of sunny afternoons
 My favorite tin pan alley tunes
 Your eyes so shiny
 The sunlight on your skin
 Imagine how grand it would have been

 It could have been more than a sily fling
 I would have bought you flowers anything
 But you just called me up 
 And called things off
 That's not my interpretation of love

 My friends all told me that 
 You're not the one for me
 But I fell in love so foolishly
 My heart kept skipping
 When we used to kiss
 I never knew this could exist
 This part of town will always
 Be a part of you and me
 Those summer nights in '93
 Just lingered on my lips
 Imagine how grand it could have been

 I don't believe in fairy tails
 Or romance novels, dear
 But all those things I used to say were
 Honest and sincere
 So let's bring out the gospel choir
 And cue the violins
 'Cause that's how grand
 It could have been
