Excerpt

A bottle of white, a bottle of red wine
Perhaps a bottle of rosé instead
We’ll get a table near by the street
In our old familiar place
You and I alone – face to face hm, hm
A bottle of red, a bottle of white
It really all depends upon your appetite
I’ll meet you any time you want
In our Italian Restaurant.
Things are okay with me these days
I got a good job, I got a good nice office
I got a new pretty wife, got a new life
And the family is mostly fine
Oh we lost touch long ago
You lost a lot of weight – I did not know
you could ever look so nice after so much time.
Do you remember those days hanging out at the village green?
Engineer boots, black leather jackets and tight blue jeans
Oh you drop a dime in the box play a good song about New Orleans
Ice cold beer, hot lights, my sweet romantic teenage nights ooh, ooh
Oh, oh, oh, oh…..
