Glenview

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Waiting in a restaurant Sitting at the bar A glance at the label On the back of a mustard jar Suddenly a memory Springs to life again The name of the town Of a long forgotten flame Glenview [Verse 2] Flashback in an instant To a boy who grew up there We met while escaping The stale suburban air Our friendship blossomed Then stopped in its tracks One mention of his hometown And it all comes flooding back From Glenview [Verse 3] It hits you like it's yesterday It hits you by surprise You're back there so completely It brings tears to your eyes And I wonder if I miss him Or just miss the way I felt That pure and noble feeling When there's just nobody else [Verse 4] After graduation I didn't stay in touch To try and keep in contact Would have hurt too much He knew how much I loved him And he once gave me a kiss He said, "I wish you all the luck In finding your prince" But not in Glenview
