Draw the curtains, pull the shades
An hour of sunshine, then it fades
I think of you, I don't know why
So long ago we said goodbye
Nothing ever seemed for certain
Nothing ever stopped the hurting
Watching winter turn to spring
I remember everything
A lovely smile, a perfect day
Always half a world away
Nothing ever seemed for certain
Nothing ever stopped the hurting
Another year has come and gone
And still I sing for you this song
Writing letters in my mind
Knowing what I'd hope to find
Nothing ever seemed for certain
Nothing ever stopped the hurting
I wonder if we'll meet again
At the Gare de l'Est at ten?
I'd give up everything that's mine
Just for one more hour of sunshine
