Experts tell us that, as time passes, we spend more and more of that time in retrospection—thinking back on our lives, reliving moments, analyzing moments. I believe that process features a blend of celebration and regret. That is what this song is about.
Lyrics
Eve, Won’t You See Me?
Eve won’t you see me on Saturday?
I’m living alone in the burbs
Help me while the time away
Remembering how things were
Eve, I might as well come out and say
I miss your sweet, sweet touch
We could dance down the street one day
The neighbours won’t mind too much
And it’s 1-2-3, 2-2-3 waltz with me
Playing your fanciful part
1-2-3, 2-2-3 you will see
We’ll dance to the song in your heart
We could dance down the boulevard outside my place
It’s never been done before
The light from the streetlamp upon your face
Who could ask for more?
So it’s 1-2-3, 2-2-3 waltz with me
Playing your fanciful part
1-2-3, 2-2-3 you will see
We’ll dance to the song in your heart
We danced in Paris, we danced in Rome
We danced in old Montreal
But now I find myself dancing alone
And that just won’t do at all
So it’s 1-2-3, 2-2-3 waltz with me
Playing your fanciful part
1-2-3, 2-2-3 you will see
We’ll dance to the song in your heart
Oh Eve, Oh Eve, why did I ever leave?
The things I was searching for don’t matter anymore
I just want you here with me
BREAK
The nurse says this medicine
Might make me well again
That would be so fine
But she’s such a dream weaver
Can I believe her?
Oh Eve, be a friend of mine
Oh Eve, Oh Eve, what am I to believe?
Am I counting down time like a nursery rhyme?
Oh, what a story we weave
Cuz it’s 1-2-3, 2-2-3 waltz with me
Playing your fanciful part
1-2-3, 2-2-3 you will see
We’ll dance to the song in your heart
Eve, won’t you see me on Saturday?
Let’s give it just one more try
Eve, let’s not let throw our time away
Never say goodbye
Cuz it’s 1-2-3, 2-2-3 waltz with me
Playing your fanciful part
1-2-3, 2-2-3 you will see
We’ll dance to the song in your heart
We will dance to the song in our heart
