If You See Her, Say Hello

If you see her, say hello

She might be in Tangier

She left here last early spring

Is livin' there, I hear

Say for me that I'm all right

Though things get kind of slow

She might think that I've forgotten her

Don't tell her it isn't so

We had a falling-out

Like lovers often will

And to think of how she left that night

It still brings me a chill

And though our separation

It pierced me to the heart

She still lives inside of me

We've never been apart

If you get close to her

Kiss her once for me

Always have respected her

For doin' what she did and gettin' free

Oh, whatever makes her happy

I won't stand in the way

Though the bitter taste still lingers on

From the night I tried to make her stay

I see a lot of people

As I make the rounds

And I hear her name here and there

As I go from town to town

And I've never gotten used to it

I've just learned to turn it off

Either I'm too sensitive

Or else I'm gettin' soft

Sundown, yellow moon

I replay the past

I know every scene by heart

They all went by so fast

If she's passin' back this way

I'm not that hard to find

Tell her she can look me up

If she's got the time
