lyrics

Looking back is a dangerous thing
And you don't want to do it all day
But every time they ask me to sing
They want to be swept away
They're hoping maybe I'll Begin the Beguine
And bring a phantom into view
I'm only happy to oblige them
If they don't mind coming back to

To King St
To a small Italian place
Where it wasn't bright enough to take a photograph
All that came out was the outline of your face

Looking back is a dangerous thing
But why must I forget?
Sure there's the day that we finished the thing
But there's still the day we met
No-one gets to keep everything
At least not for very long
So you'll forgive me for remembering
That night we walked along

Along King St
To a small Italian place
Where it wasn't bright enough to take a photograph
All that came out was the outline of your face

And I doubt that I'll ever forget that beautiful silhouette
